About this game

Card Thief is a solitaire-style stealth card game that transforms your deck into a shadowy world of cunning heists and daring escapes.

Sneak through the darkness as a master thief. Extinguish torches, pickpocket guards, and steal precious treasure without getting caught. Every card you flip is a calculated risk. Every move could be your last.

From the makers of Card Crawl, the hit indie card dungeon crawler, Card Thief distills the tension of classic stealth games into a sleek, strategic card game you can play in minutes. Easy to learn, endlessly deep.

Plan. Steal. Escape. Repeat.

With a rich layer of tactical decision-making, risk/reward choices, and roguelike replayability, Card Thief is the perfect pick-up-and-play strategy card game for fans of stealth, puzzle games, and solo card games alike.

I have played this for years, and never tire of it. It is my #1 favorite Android game of ALL TIME! The music, sound, animations, art, and gameplay are top-notch! It is free to play, and not pay to win. The cost to not needs ads is tiny. This game is, in my opinion, as close to perfect as a mere mortal indie game developer could ever produce, and better than the majority of AAA games I have purchased in the past few years.

This game rules, plain & simple. Do yourself a favor & get it immediately. And be sure to pay attention to your equipment as you advance -- it's a lot of fun unlocking upgrades, etc., as you progress through the castles & hone your skills. I really can't praise this game enough -- if you like card games + strategy (and in particular, figuring strategic and tactical elements out for yourself), this is WELL worth checking out for free, & the one-time fee to unlock chests instantly is a no-brainer!

This game is really fun, so much so I had nearly 100%'d it on my old phone, at least in terms of unlocks if nothing else. I switched to a new phone and was able to carry my progress over, but seemingly after some update my map progress is still there but all my unlocks have been completely reset. All of the items I had are gone and all the little collectable treasures I had I can't even view because the unlock to view that section has been reset. Pretty demotivating getting wiped like this.
