Description
You draw lots among all the players, sitting in a circle, a guard known to all and a thief, who must remain anonymous. The guard is taken to another room by an animator, while the thief makes himself known to the other players. When the game begins: the guard enters the circle and walks in circles. Meanwhile, while the thief is not seen by the guard, he changes his body position or facial expression. Quickly, all other players must imitate the thief. The aim of the game is for the guard to figure out who the thief is. Depending on the number of players, more attempts can be given to the guard. If the guard discovers the thief, the latter becomes the new Inspector and the game starts again.
