SPOILERS AHEAD! BE WARNED!
From: Knife-and-Candle: attack!
Mirrorcatch Boxes are oddities: neither legal nor illegal, exactly. They have a special place in the Game. If you suspect another Londoner has a box, and you can call in a favour to bend the rules, you may steal it in the course of the Game. But you may not harm one hair on their head.
Game Instructions: Uses Baroque!, steals a Mirrorcatch Box...if you've guessed right and they have one.
Unlocked with
1 x Favour in High Places,
3 x Iron Knife Token,
Watchful 30
Locked with
1 x Mirrorcatch Box
Challenge with Baroque!
Once Chosen
The complexities of theft
A Mirrorcatch Box may not be stolen in the ordinary way. The plan was as elaborate as a street-map of Spite. Until you get this parcel home, you won't even know if it contains a Box. (If your target had one, and if you succeeded in the theft, you'll find out below.)
