How it plays
In Sheriff of Nottingham, players take turns being the Sheriff, while everyone else plays Merchants trying to stock their market stalls with the best goods, legal or not.
Merchants load their goods into a bag and declare what's inside. The Sheriff can inspect any bag, but if the Merchant was telling the truth, the Sheriff pays a penalty. So bribes, bluffs and haggling fly back and forth every round. This edition includes updated rules.
