What is The Adventures of Robin Hood about?
Nottingham, England is suffering under the oppressive rule of the corrupt Prince John and his henchmen in 1193. With this cooperative family board game, players assume the roles of Robin Hood and his Merry Men as they battle the wicked rulers throughout the city and Sherwood Forest.
The game was designed and illustrated by Michael Menzel, the creator of the Legends of Andor series, and includes both a beautifully illustrated gameboard that changes through the course of the game and a 216-page hardcover storybook that narrates the story.
A unique gameplay mechanic allows you to move your character figures freely around the gameboard; you do not need to follow a set course. During play, the gameboard has interactive panels that can be flipped over to reveal hidden characters and new gameplay elements. You speak to various characters in these panels as your quest progresses. The quickstart game in the rulebook gets you started right away. Take up your bow and arrow and join the fight for justice and equity!
It’s similar to “legacy” style games like Pandemic Legacy because the rules change and the story develops over the course of several sessions, however you never open new boxes of parts, put stickers on the board, or tear up a card.
In other ways, it is similar to role-playing games because players can freely travel across the map and investigate anything they are interested in… though there is also a very real time pressure to complete certain tasks for each chapter.
