Sherwood (2005)

About this game

Each player has a group of forest robbers from Sherwood. In each round players simultaneously attack three travelers with a hidden count of robbers. According to the robbers, properties for each traveler is determined by which group attacked him. Successful groups take some reward. Victory points are earned from a range of one's own villages. Some rewards allow the player gain a village and score points from them.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 9 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
