Dick Turpin's game of Highway Robbery
"A thrilling game for 2 to 6 players" from Arrow Games Ltd (A Milton Bradley Company).
The object of the game is to be the player who has collected the largest amount of Booty by the end of the game. The game ends when the Mail Coach has completed four journeys across the country.
One player takes on the role of the Crown Agent, controlling the King's Men, protecting the Mail Coach and attempting to arrest the Highwaymen. Attempting to outwit the Crown Agent (and each other) the remaining players take on the roles of the Highwaymen (chosen from Black Henry, Mathew Flood, One Eye Craven, Vulcan or Dick Turpin).
Highwaymen can 'earn' Guineas by holding up the Mail Coach or by capturing fellow Highwaymen and collecting a ransom, whilst the Crown Agent can issue fines (or earn a few Guineas on the side by accepting Bribes) to arrested Highwaymen.
