About the game

What you do in a play session

In Robin, you join the merry band of Robin Hood in Sherwood Forest, ready for adventure and missions. The game is super dynamic, perfect for those who enjoy a dash of risk and reward. You can help out at the camp, greet travelers on the road to Nottingham (maybe snagging some coins!), deliver important messages for Robin himself, or scout the area for valuable information. The twist is that the bolder you are, the greater the rewards. But watch out – don't get too close to the Sheriff's castle! If the guards show up, it's best to make a quick exit and hide in the forest before they catch you.

The goal is to be the first to complete seven missions of the same type. Whoever succeeds becomes Robin's new lieutenant. The catch? Your friends are also eyeing that position, so the competition will be fierce! You'll need to be fast, clever, and a bit daring to get ahead. Robin is a light and quick card game, ideal for warming up the table or for a casual game with friends. With simple rules and an engaging theme, it brings the essence of Robin Hood legends to your table, encouraging set collection and a bit of trading among players.
