My trouble began at the city gates, where one of the city’s guards refused to let me into the city until I’d bribed him. The one item I could not find (though I suspect that it is located somewhere near the start) is the merchant's pass.

There were 20 full page illustrations and 6 minor repeated illustrations scattered throughout the text. And beyond lies the most fearsome adventure of them all — the tower stronghold of the infamous Zanbar Bone! If only we’d found the black pearl and gotten the tattoo of a white unicorn in a yellow sun before climbing over the city walls!Ein überaus vergnügliches Buch, das mir von den wenigen der Reihe, die ich bislang spielen durfte, am besten gefallen hat.

The monster variety was more consistent with what I would see in a seedy city and the activities were engaging. Port Blacksand, the titular city of thieves, is a fascinating place for exploration and skullduggery. This first part of the game was enjoyable and moderately challenging in places - there were a few locations where things could go badly wrong for you, and I benefitted in one place by making what doesn't immediately look like a wise move. Ergo habe ich ab dem Punkt, an dem ich gen Turm lief, gehörig gemogelt und am Schluss dann alternative Wege, die ich zuvor noch nicht gegangen war, auch noch klammheimlich durchgeblättert.My son is not a keen reader, but he actually looks forward to going to bed at night to read this book, which is unheard of!
