Games like Among Thieves

Looking for games like Among Thieves? It's a strategy game with real decisions on every turn — built on the squeeze of wringing the most out of a limited hand. This page rounds up 12 of the closest alternatives, scored on mechanical overlap with the original (45%), complexity match (35%), and player-count fit (20%), then weighted by BoardGameGeek community ratings so every pick is one players genuinely rate. The strongest matches come first; the further down you go, the more a game trades exact overlap for a fresh take on the same core appeal.
