This is where having the right type of players really makes this game king (or Sheriff). Players can negotiate or bribe the sheriff to let them pass but once he opens the bag that’s it. The sheriff then chooses to either let them pass or open the bag. A player’s declaration must be a single type of good, apples, bread, cheese or chickens. You must declare the correct number of cards, but you can choose to lie about exactly what the cards are. Each round the players place up to five cards in their bag and declare the contents to the sheriff. You can also just tell the truth and make the sheriff pay the price for not trusting you.

You must bluff your way past the sheriff with as many goods as you can muster or dare to stuff in your sack and hope you don’t get caught with mountains of contraband in them. Win win, let’s get on and play! Let’s Play – The Game in a nutshellįirstly, you are a simple merchant who wants to move their goods through Nottingham but the corrupt Sheriff wants their cut. The game does exactly that, setup is easy and engages all the players straight away, you get your hand of cards, some coins and your goods sack for the first round and the rulebook quickly and easily explains how the game will work. As you can see from the pictures, this game delivers high quality Artwork with a sense of fun and mischief, exactly what you get from playing this game.Īgain, setup must be simple and a good clear rulebook is a must, especially with a game such as this which can come under the bracket of many types of game including bluffing, social deduction and party game. With such a high volume to choose from, a great game can easily be missed if it has an uninspiring cover! Sheriff of Nottingham certainly doesn’t disappoint in this area. Theme & Setupįor me, Artwork is crucial in a game. The fact there is a second edition on the way should already tell you this game is a winner and for me brilliant!! But how brilliant? And does it suit the family too? Well read on and find out…. Who didn’t want to be Robin Hood as a kid? Steal from the rich and give to the poor with awesome bow skills, although I was never one for the green attire myself.įirst off, I will be reviewing the game as the second edition will be released soon and will be available on the Zatu Website. As previously mentioned, my tact with these reviews is to focus on the game from both an adult and family perspective. Hopefully some of you read my review on Horrified and have come back for more. A second chance to grab with the second edition coming soon!

Sheriff of Nottingham is the first game in the Dice Tower Essentials Line from Arcane Wonders. The Sheriff must then determine who gets into the city with their goods, who gets inspected, and who may have their goods confiscated!ĭo you have what it takes to be seen as an honest merchant? Will you make a deal with the Sheriff to let you in? Or will you persuade the Sheriff to target another player while you quietly slip by the gate? Declare your goods, negotiate deals, and be on the lookout for the Sheriff of Nottingham! Players declare goods they wish to bring into the city, goods that are secretly stored in their burlap sack. In Sheriff of Nottingham, players will not only be able to experience Nottingham as a merchant of the city, but each turn one player will step into the shoes of the Sheriff himself. Should you play it safe with legal goods and make a profit, or risk it all by sneaking in illicit goods? Be mindful, though, as the Sheriff always has his eyes out for liars and tricksters and if he catches one, he very well may confiscate those goods for himself! However, players must first get their goods through the city gate, which is under the watch of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Prince John is coming to Nottingham! Players, in the role of merchants, see this as an opportunity to make quick profits by selling goods in the bustling city during the Prince's visit.
