In Sheriff of Nottingham, players are wily Merchants bribing and bluffing their way into the city walls to stock their stalls with the best goods. Each round, a new player is the Sheriff, who can inspect any bag they want, searching for contraband. But they must be careful, as they'll have to pay a penalty if they find the Merchants were telling the truth, but if the Merchants get caught smuggling, they must pay a fine. This 2nd edition includes updated rules, as well as expansions such as rules for a 6th player, the Sheriff's Deputies, and the Black Market, for high risk/high reward plays.
