The Blue Lion
A valuable diamond – the Blue Lion – is on display at the Louvre and two thieves, Arsène Lupin and Lady X, both want to steal it.
What is The Blue Lion
A valuable diamond – the Blue Lion – is on display at the Louvre and two thieves, Arsène Lupin and Lady X, both want to steal it.
The Blue Lion is played using six tiles. Each tile shows an icon on both the front and back: Lupin, Lady X, the Blue Lion diamond, or a police inspector. Each combination of two icons occurs once. One player plays as Lupin, the other as Lady X. During set-up, these tiles are arranged in a row. In turn, the players take one tile and add it to the front or the back of the line, without looking at the back of the tile. After this set-up, the players try to score points by creating special combinations of tiles. Each turn, a player can perform one of three actions to change the line:
Switch two adjacent tiles.
Move a tile that is on one end of the line to the other end of the line.

What the community says about The Blue Lion
Very light but nice idea, which seems to work well. Moving tiles to get certain combinations, with a bit of memory. Nice pieces, small and fast, does its job.
