Robin (2014)

About this game

In the fast-paced game Robin, you have just joined Robin Hood's merry men in Sherwood Forest. You can help at the Sherwood Forest camp, rob travelers on the road to Nottingham castle, bring messages from Robin, and scout the neighborhood for information. The more risk you take, the higher the rewards — but take care because if you get too close to the castle, you'll need to go back and hide in the forest before the sheriff's guards can catch you! You want to be the first to accomplish seven missions of the same type in order to become Robin's new lieutenant. Of course your friends want to become lieutenants, too, so you will have to be swift and daring to succeed before them.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
