I'd like the dividers a bit higher to better contain the coins, overall, The signs of a great game. What's more the game itself has a divider in the box that holds all the piece and comes out of the box to assist in gameplay. It brings awesome theme and tension to the game.
however, the star is the snap on the bag. You get great bags, cards, art, and cardboard coins all look great. You don't need to reinvent the wheel to have fun and the rule book knows that as well. Instructions-The rulebook is well laid out, and the rules are not complicated. But, don't expect to fly deep into the game work like with Mage Wars.3.75/5 Nothing beats the feel and sound of the snap on the bag to let you know the game is up. The bags are awesome, and they do drive home the theme of anxiously trying to avoid customs. You're just sneaking a thing into a place. You have art driving home Robin Hood, but the gameplay itself isn't tied to that world. Theme-There is a theme here, but honestly, it's not very strong. If you don't work together against the leader, you will lose. There is no self correction for the leader. But, you do need a poker face and a group of people who do like these kind of games. It's quick, fun, and something you don't have to have a strong game background to play. You do get some cards, and to make some choices, but overall, the game's main focus is social deduction, risk-management, and a good poker face. Sheriff of Nottingham is completely social. Mechanics-This game is as simple as they come, and that's not a bad thing. The player with the highest score is the winner and best merchant/smuggler in Nottingham! At the end of the game, the players with the most and second most of each basic good score extra points, and then the gold value for each item you have, basic and contraband, are added together along with any remaining currency you still have. After each player except the Sheriff player has had a chance to be inspected, then the next player becomes the Sheriff, and the game continues as above until each player is the Sheriff twice.
And lastly, if you had contraband, you pay the Sheriff for the contraband, pay for undeclared cards as before, and then the contraband is placed in one of the discard piles. If you had some other basic goods, then you have to pay the Sheriff the penalty value for each good you didn't declare before, but you still get to keep the goods as before. If you were completely truthful and had played no contraband, then the Sheriff pays you the penalty value of all the goods in your bag. However, if the Sheriff opens your bag, then things get interesting. Brides could be future favors, money, or even bribes from other players to look in the bag! If the Sheriff let's the player pass, then the player places goods around their play mat for the different basic goods or places contraband facedown in front of their player board. The Sheriff has to decide if you are lying, to trust you, or to try to take a bribe. After a player chooses what to put in the bag, that player must then announce to the Sheriff the number of cards in the bag as well as say one type of good (obviously you should not say contraband!). Contraband are better types of basic goods, weapons, pepper, or other random items. Basic goods are chicken, bread, cheese, and apples. The cards come in two general types: basic and contraband. After drawing, then each player except that Sheriff for that round, chooses up to five cards, and places them in a bag with a snap.
Players set asides some cards, draw up to six, and then discard the set aside cards to either pile. These cards can come from a facedown pile or from one of two face up piles where the order is publicly known. Each turn starts with players discarding and drawing cards. 91%īasics-Who's the best liar in Nottingham? In Sheriff of Nottingham, players take the roles of different merchants trying to smuggle goods into the Nottingham market. TL DR-A Good game of who is the best liar. Price- $30 here Set-up/Play/Clean-up- 20 minutes (3-5 players)
