Nottingham 1100ad – The True King is away in the Holy Lands and the town is under rule by the evil tyrant, Prince John. He has forced matrimony upon Maid Marian and locked her in his castle against her will. The young princess sends word of her captivity to fabled outlaw and her true love, Robin Hood.
He vows to save her with help from his Merry Men — faithful souls who would follow him to hell and back! But this time, Robin sees doubt in their eyes. Little John, Will Scarlet and the other Merry Men deem the mission so perilous—it could plunge Nottingham into turmoil. Torn between love for the princess and his town, Robin devises a plan to save both! He proposes a challenge, betting his men that none can protect Nottingham as well as he. If one of them bests him at this task, he will bestow his mantle of leadership to the victor! They accept his wager, and pledge to rescue Maid Marian, no matter the outcome.
Their quest will require bravery, cunning and all the wits they can muster! Will one of the Merry Men become Nottingham’s newest hero, or will Robin live up to his own legend?
Robin Hood and the Merry Men is a semi cooperative and highly competitive board game, set in the legendary town of Nottingham. You will play as one of the famous outlaw heroes such as Robin Hood, Little John, Will Scarlet, Much the Miller’s Son…
The objective of Robin Hood and the Merry Men is to prove you are the ultimate protector of Nottingham. You must defend the town and it’s people from the tyranny of infamous ruler Prince John and his evil Sheriff.
In preparation for the dangers ahead you will build a base camp deep within Sherwood Forest. You will need to acquire various weapons and resources to stand a chance of survival- not only against the merciless Prince, but the Sheriff’s endless army.
The villagers will be under constant threat from the Sheriff, and you will need to raise their morale, by robbing from the rich and giving back to the poor. You will enter the castle’s arena to participate in competitions. Here you will compete to win a gold prize, that you could share amongst the people, or perhaps use to expand your base camp.
You will be facing many challenges, and the Sheriff and his guards will be relentless. In order to stay one step ahead you will need to lay traps to ambush the heavily guarded and gold-filled carriages.
It is also possible that your men will be captured and perhaps need rescuing. However, it’s important to be aware of the guards, who will be expecting you!
