Burg Schlummerschatz

In the dead of night, twelve guards keep watch over the castle’s precious treasure. But it’s not for nothing that it has the nickname Sleepy Castle: the guards often like to take a little nap on the job. The crafty thieves know this all too well. They lurk, trying to catch two of the guards
