About the game
In Sheriff of Nottingham, players take on the role of merchants trying to sell their goods in the city of Nottingham during Prince John's visit. The goal is to earn the most points possible, but to do so, players must avoid being caught by the sheriff, who is always on the lookout for liars and tricksters. Each turn, one player takes on the role of the sheriff and decides who gets to bring their goods into the city and who gets inspected. The game is a combination of strategy, negotiation, and a bit of luck. It's a fun and interactive game that can be played with 3 to 5 players and lasts about 60 minutes.
