====== Guard Cards ======
| Back to [[hiddenmovement]] |
These cards are used to influence the guards in the game.  Either to reduce the risk to your thief, or increase the risk to another player's thief.  
  * Unless otherwise stated, a Guard Card can be played on any guard on the table.
  * You may have a maximum of 6 Guard Cards in your deck.
  * Guard Cards are bought with **Gold Coins** {{ :games:board:gold-coin-2017072636-2400px.png?100|Gold Coin}} from **Thief Cards** in the **Resource Phase**, or obtained by **Pick Pocketing** a guard in the **Players Movement Phase**
  * Guard Cards cannot be used to buy other Guard Cards.
  * Guard Cards are played instead of Thief Cards in the **Players Movement Phase**
  * Guard Cards, once used, go to the discard pile and are reshuffled when there are no more Guard Cards left.
  * You do not have to reveal the actual location of your thief if you play a card that says "within line of sight of your thief".
