![]() If you’ve read any other review of this game, you’ll know the premise is simple. However, after finally playing the game, I can say with certainty that there is a surprising level of depth and deduction here, and I’m very glad I bought this game. Upfront, Sheriff of Nottingham sounds like a simple and, to the critical gamer, potentially shallow bluffing game. On that note, why there isn’t similar board game about Papers, please? You are certain to get laughter out of this, but is it the king of the hill? No, not even near, but it ain’t fluff either. Also perfect guide how to succeed in job interview.Īs I have said before it is great entry level game, but it also acts as great filler and icebreaker. In other words perfect tool to prepare your kids to young adults or even better your neighbors kids. It has more meat than many of the same category games and is certainly more approachable to children. It has certain appeal on the idea and art and I love pieces it come with. However I can’t help, but feel that it falls short on other bluffing game, such as The Resistance and Ca$h ‘n Guns. Now before I tackle on this conclusion, this is fun game no doubt. Glory to Nottingham! No entry, sorry (Conclusion) It takes 1-2 sheriff for everybody to learn this game. Also player aids that come with the game are good quality and remind absent minded players about the turn order. Rulebook was very clear on all the rules and you really don’t need to consult it while playing. Especially if sheriff likes to think a lot on decisions. Game is for five players max, which I can understand since otherwise there would be too much downtime for other players for this kind of game. Fast to teach, doesn’t take long and easy to bring to table. This game is from the easy end of the games and it’s something for whole family, providing you play so that your kids have a chance to win too. Remember, pack the heavy stuff to bottom of the bag (Learning curve) It deserves it own special mentioning, thanks for those! This game has one of the best art in board games out there, well at least if you look for non-serious art style.Ĭardboard used on everything is high quality and box comes with detachable box interior for easier storing during the game. Then again characters look more like caricatures and the art still keeps amazing. Goods look like their real image and are very easily distinguished from each others, apples look even edible. It has very interesting division on characters and goods. Then game ends and winner is declared.Īrt is simply beautiful and it is plentiful. This goes until all players has been sheriff twice. ![]() This brings nice twist to the game and makes it interesting.Īfter every bag has been cleared or checked another turn starts and next player assumes role of sheriff. Sometimes belief has nothing to do with it since owner of bag can bride the sheriff not to open the bag, but what is even better is that other players can pay to sheriff to open the bag. However if everything is at it should be sheriff has to pay to owner of the goods. If sheriff is right he gets paid for the contraband and liar loses those goods that were not declared correctly. It’s up to sheriff whether he/she believes or not. You can say that you have three breads even though you have bag full of contraband. Everything is open for any claim, except how many goods are in the bag. Players hand the bags of goods to sheriff in turn and tell/lie what it contains. Then one player starts as the Sheriff and others draw cards in hopes to get as many matching tradable goods or not, this is where the bluff comes in. Each player gets their avatar and board/summary sheet. Game is pretty simple as it often is this way with bluffing games. Let’s see if this box is full gold or fluff. Welcome the new addition to house of bluffing games. Welcome to Arstotzka, I mean Nottingham, comr… chap/chappette! Got anything in those bags for Sheriff do you? Oh, do I hear clink of coins?
