Let Sleeping Dons Lie

2021·Geoff Holt, Jane Holt

2 - 8 players
10 - 30 min

From BoardGameGeek

In Let Sleeping Dons Lie your goal is to get out of your criminal life with enough loot for a fresh start before the Don wakes up. As a member of the Don's crime family, you begin with a hand of 7 cards and some loot. The Don is laid out sleeping in the middle of the play area. Based on how big your crime family is, will determine how much plunder there is to go around. Each turn you draw a card from either the draw or discard piles. Then Play a card onto the discard pile, following any actions that may be on the card. When you manage to pick up a total of 7 of one type of plunder, the round ends and the plunder is stashed into Loot bags. Then another round starts. You escape when you are the first to reach enough loot bags for a fresh start. If the Don wakes up then the game is over and you have to get out with what you loot you can carry.
