Fagin's Gang

Description

In this economic strategy game, you play a member of Charles Dickens' infamous gang of pilfering street urchins from Oliver Twist. Fagin trusts you and has given you charge of a small band of 5 urchins to scour London for easy pickings. Each of your urchins takes one of 6 locations from Dickensian London (there is always one neighborhood you can't travel to). Urchins try to avoid the police constables and steal goods to help the other members of the gang at other locations. Everyone meets periodically at Smithfield Market to trade, to swap booty and experiences - and to make money. Goods are essential for movement, but ultimately these must be balanced with your cash to win the game.
