Robin Hood

Players assume the roles of merchants trying to enter the castle during three birthday parties for the king in 13th-century England. Each round, players prepare a secret bag of goods and decide what to declare at the castle gate, while the appointed sheriff inspects chosen merchants for undeclared or prohibited items. The game uses hand management and bluffing: players may bribe, lie, or hide contraband, and everyone can summon a famous outlaw once per game to steal items. Income from successful sales and penalties from inspections determine scores; the player with the most money after the final celebration wins.
