About Tjuv och polis

Classic Swedish children's game about robbers and police. One player is the police and gets (no. of players +1) police pieces and the radio car, while the others get a robber piece each. Robbers try to rob banks and post offices, occasionally stashing their money in hideouts where it's safe for the time being, and finally 'escaping the country' (=exiting the board) by rail, plane or ship, while the police naturally tries to catch them.
