Robin Hood
Robin Hood
Robin Hood is a rethemed and revised version of Hart an der Grenze – known in Brazil as "Jogo da Fronteira" – with the same basic game mechanisms along with some new additions.
In 13th century England, Prince John took his brother's throne and started to charge abusive taxes of the population, making it difficult for workers to sell their goods and make a profit. What's worse, the new king outright prohibited some types of goods.
While the new King is in Notthingham, the players try to enter the castle to sell their goods during the three parties that celebrate the King's birthday. But at the door of the castle, the Nottingham Sheriff won't make things easy for them and will investigate some players to see whether they carry any illegal or undeclared products to sell inside the castle. During the game, all players may call Robin Hood for help at least one time. He will steal anything you ask him, but the rumors are on the streets – will that make you the perfect target for the Sheriff?
The player with the most money at the end of the three parties and final birthday celebration wins.

The Chief delves into Kickstarter, Andrew talks about a Few Acres of Snow, and Tom and Eric talk about 21 games in 21 minutes. We give the latest news, and talk about nolstagic games that weren't quite as good as we remembered.
