About the game
What you do in a play session
The "Sheriff of Nottingham: Gen Con 2014 Promo Set" pack adds six extra cards that give a fresh twist of strategy and humor to the already popular bluffing and trading game. Each card has a unique effect that can be used to accumulate wealth or sabotage competitors.
- **Brimstone Oil**: At game’s end, the player may collect gold; if played immediately, it destroys an opponent’s pair of legal goods.
- **Olive Oil**: Raises the value of all other olive oil cards you manage to smuggle past the sheriff.
- **Strawberry Mead**: Boosts the value of all other mead cards you smuggle past the sheriff.
- **Golden Silk**: Increases the value of all other silk cards you pass.
- **Dragon Pepper**: Elevates the value of all other pepper cards you smuggle.
- **Heavy Crossbow**: Raises the value of all other crossbow cards you smuggle past the sheriff.
These cards fit perfectly into the Hand Management, Role Playing, and Set Collection mechanics that make Sheriff so fun. The goal remains the same: pass goods past the sheriff, bluff, and accumulate the most gold.
The pack is a bonus for those who already own the base game and want to upgrade their sessions. It works with most editions and can be added to the deck before shuffling. If you love bluffing, cards that change the value of others, and a splash of medieval humor, this set will keep you even more excited at the table.
Average playtime: 60 minutes. Players: 3‑5. Complexity: medium. If you enjoy card games that blend bluffing, strategy, and humor, you’ll love this promotional pack, which offers new ways to bluff and “destroy” opponents’ goods with a simple click.
