## Description
In dark times for England, with King Richard the Lionheart missing in the Crusades, hope emerges with Robin of Locksley. In this race and collection game, you take on the role of the famous outlaw, stealing from the Norman nobles to fund the king's release. The goal is straightforward: complete two full laps around the race track encircling the 5x5 modular board, where treasures await collection. 

Each player uses their Robin to move along the track, spending gold coins to advance. When landing on certain spaces, you'll face challenges requiring 'fame' to overcome. You can choose to complete the proposed task or spend another coin to simply bypass it and move on. Collecting loot tiles is crucial: gather spoils of the same color to form valuable sets and sell them, securing more gold and, consequently, more movement on the track. The strategy lies in balancing resource collection, gold management, and the race to be the first to complete the two laps. With a board that changes each game and the need to plan every move, Robin of Locksley offers a fierce and thematic contest for two players. It's a game that demands quick decisions and a keen eye for profit opportunities, all while the shadow of the king's capture looms over England.
