Product Description

In Sheriff of Nottingham, players will take turns stepping into the shoes of the Sheriff himself, while others act as Merchants attempting to bring their goods into the city for profit! Beware though, while many may act as honest merchants, there is always the possibility of contraband being smuggled into the city!


From the manufacturer

Sheriff of Nottingham

An exciting game of bluffing, bribery and smuggling!

You have come to Nottingham with your Goods on market day, and the only thing standing between you and your hard-earned profits is the Sheriff. All you need to do is bluff or bribe your way past him. ..or maybe, tell the truth!

In Sheriff of Nottingham, you are a merchant trying to deliver your Goods to market. Players take turns assuming the role of Sheriff, who must decide which merchants’ bags to inspect and which to let by.

As a merchant, your goal is to convince the Sheriff to let you in - by any means necessary! At the end of the game, the merchant with the most wealth wins!

  • Plays in 60 minutes
  • For 3 to 5 players
  • Ages 14 and up

The Sheriff

Players take turns assuming the role of Sheriff throughout the game. When you are the Sheriff, you can inspect any number of merchant bags, or even decide not to inspect any bags!

Pick Your Merchant!

Will you be a sly cheese merchant? Perhaps the luxurious silk dealer? The choice is yours!

Types of Goods

Legal Goods

Apples, Bread, Cheese, and Chickens all sell fairly well in Nottingham, but being taxed as much as we are, it's impossible for a merchant to make a living anymore on these goods alone!

Contraband

Silk, Pepper, Mead, and Crossbows the best goods for honest merchants to sell in Nottingham. Yet, Prince John has proclaimed such goods are "contraband" and has the Sheriff of Nottingham confiscating any of these goods he finds!

Load your Merchant Bag

After deciding upon the goods that you would like to take to market, place them into your bag, and snap it closed. Next, you will declare what is in your bag to the Sheriff!

As a merchant, your goal is to convince the Sheriff to let you in - by any means

Will you be honest and straightforward in your dealings with the Sheriff, or will you use your wits to bluff your way to victory?

Best Social Strategy Card game Ever! Hilarious dialogues and bluffs!
I am new to board games and specialty card games. I've played Monopoly, Clue, and Operation back when I was a kid growing up but then shifted strictly to video games and movies while leaving the board games behind although I did enjoy it and had a great time playing. I recently got back into it thanks to friends recommending games and doing more social party games since we were older in our late 20's. I've recently bought and played Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, Wits & Wagers, Quickwits, Voting Game and Sheriff Of Nottingham.I returned the Voting game as that wasn't as much fun among our group of friends and the others I have had a blast with. Out of all these games the most fun we had as a group was with Sheriff Of Nottingham. The bluffs, British accent we employ, and dialogue is laugh out loud funny and silly. Its such a simple premise for the game that anyone can understand it in minutes. It's much more fun the more people you have but needs a minimum of 3. Ideally 4-5 people are optimal and more competitive.Also when we're in the mood and don't have work the next day we make a drinking game out of it. If you're the sheriff and you inspect the goods and find contraband the guilty merchant drinks. If the merchant was honest and there was no contraband the sheriff drinks. its fun, try it out if you're of age and like to imbibe the sauce (^_^)The quality of the items were really top notch. The bags are felt and feels nice but it does have a gross chemical smell though. I just stuffed some dryer sheets in with them and its good. The box itself is sturdy and has a nice textured feel and finish. The coins, character boards, and sheriff are cardboard that you have to pop out of the holder but it was easy to do so and the edges did not fray. The rules book is very well made and will last long. Detailed descriptions of the rules with illustrations and graphics make this one of the best and easiest to understand rulebook and game.We tend to play this at least 1-2 times a month and every time its been great. I have attached photos that might help you out and what to expect when you but this. Happy gaming, Cheers!
