Thief

A thief (or highwayman in the 2014 edition) is a follower who has been placed on a road. When the road is completed or the game ends and the player with most followers on the road gains a point per tile in the road. An Inn on the Lake by a completed road doubles its score, or renders an uncompleted road worthless at the end of the game. Three types of follower may be placed on the road, the Normal Follower or Wagon, which each count as one follower; and the Big Follower who counts as two.
