The Adventures of Robin Hood

The Adventures of Robin Hood is a game by Michael Menzel, famous author of The Legends of Andor, in which between 1 and 4 people can participate in 9 game sessions lasting about 60 minutes. Halfway between the classic books of the “choose your adventure” series, an RPG and a legacy format (but without destroying or wasting the components), The Adventures of Robin Hood is an evolving cooperative experience without a rulebook. depending on the decisions made by the players. This game was a finalist for the best game of 2021 at the Spiel des Jahres awards, the most prestigious awards in the sector in Germany.

The adventure begins as soon as you unfold the board! The game takes place on a large map of Nottingham and Sherwood, covered with numbered panels that can be flipped. Instead of a rulebook, you get a hardcover book with nine chapters that will give you the basic guidelines to get started. Place the figures of your characters (Robin Hood, Little Jhon, Marian and Will Scarlet) on the map and try to overcome the challenge that the story offers you.

Set in England in 1193, The Adventures of Robin Hood is a totally immersive game that will appeal to both young and old who enjoy a good story. Will you rise up against the tyranny imposed by Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham? The evolution of the board and the outcome of the story will depend on your actions. Ready your bows, warriors!
