Sheriff of Nottingham
Description
In Sheriff of Nottingham, players become merchants in the city of Nottingham, with one player taking turns in the boots of the local Sheriff. While merchant players must declare and pay duties on the goods they bring into the city (and try to smuggle other goods in their cloth bags to help Robin Hood), the Sheriff decides who enters, who gets searched, and whose goods get confiscated.
Will you be an honest merchant or try to win the Sheriff's favor? Will you convince the Sheriff to focus on another player while you sneak through the city gates? Declare your goods, weigh your options, and watch out for the Sheriff of Nottingham!
The game is in English.

A fun game, especially for evenings with friends—though maybe not the ones sitting at the table with you. A game about smuggling, bribes, and a bit of tactics. Easy to understand even without a Czech translation. I was excited after the first game, but I already know it’s more of an occasional play. The game lacks that certain hook that makes you want to come back for different cards or a new adventure... It’s all about the people. The sheriff figure's base falls off when you move it, which is quite clumsy. I recommend not snapping the bags shut, just closing them; the fabric doesn't feel very thick and might tear over time.
Zábavná hra hlavně pro večery s přáteli, většinou ne těmi, se kterými jste právě u stolu. Hra o pašování, úplatcích a troše taktizování. Snadné na pochopení i bez českého překladu. Po první hře nadšen, avšak již teď vím, že půjde spíše o občasné hraní. Hře chybí jisté lákadlo, že příště budou jiné karty nebo jiné dobrodružství... Vše je o lidech. Figurce šerifa odpadává při posouvání podstavec, což je dost nemotorné. Pytlíčky doporučuji nezacvaknou ale jen zavřít, látka mi nepřipadá nějak tlustá a časem by mohlo dojít k protrhnutí.
The game itself is excellent, but the contents would fit into a box half the size – which would only further highlight the poor value for money.
Hra sama o sobě výborná, ovšem obsah by se vešel do poloviční krabice - která by však ještě více demonstrovala nepoměr ceny a výkonu (resp. obsahu).
