The risk and player engagement really set this game apart from others.
If the bag contains the declared cards the sheriff pays a fine to the player he accused, otherwise the player must pay a fine and have the contraband goods (those not declared) confiscated. 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.
