Definately a fun diversion but offers little more. All in all, it was a fun 15 minute diversion.Ĭonclusion: I give this game a 3/5 for its playability/mechanic, 3.5/5 for design and production as I thought the track was too difficult and had some flaws/uneven seems that caused issues and 2/5 for strategy for a total overall score of 9.5/15.

We were all overjoyed (not that he won) but that the fun adventure was over so we could move on to more strategic games. But finally with a skillful final flick he flew over the finish line to claim victory. At this time, he decided to take it easy and try to coast! Well hanging on to win is more difficult than going after it as he struck at least three walls at a perfect angle to reflect right back and allowed the rest of us to catch up. By the end, Alexander (probably the least athletic of all of us) was in the lead by nearly a half lap. If you are not bumping into other cars and knocking them off the track (at which point you have to go back to where you were and your turn is done), you are having to glide over the ramp and hope that you hit the railing and slide to safety! I heard lots of laughing, excitement and curses all in the same minute or so it took us to get through one round. But let me tell you the 3 laps are difficult. To win you simply have to complete 3 laps. This is a dexterity type game where you have to “flick” little colored discs representing your race car through a twisty, curvy track that even has a jump! The race was on and at this point we were all nearing the very unforgiving and difficult jump!Īt first I could see on everyone’s faces that they were thinking “What are we playing!?!” but by the the end they were saying “Why had we never played this before?!?” The game took about 15 minutes for the six of us to negotiate the track. We were all sweaty and I was tired and had lost some of my strength as I had my hand on each piece of furniture. When Justin brought this game out I cringed! I had just enlisted my friends earlier in the day after we finished GMT Games Dominant Species in helping me move in two new couches that my wife had purchased and moved some other furniture around, even carrying a heavy old couch down from our loft. So on to the summary of the rest of the day! Orleans published by Tasty Minstrel Games ( ) Scoville published by Tasty Minstrel Games ( ) Sheriff of Nottingham published by Arcane Wonders ( ) PitchCar Mini published by Ferti Games ( !enpitchcar/cdgh) Over the back half of the day we played the following great games: Sheriff of Nottingham is the first game in the Dice Tower Essentials Line from Arcane Wonders.What do you get when you mix 8 geeks (said by a geek with respect) & baked beans after a 14 hour gaming marathon? ….a lot of fun! This is Part II of my review of our group’s International Tabletop Day event, or what I like to call GENCON in our living room! (If you haven’t read Part I of my blog published on Thursday, May 5th check it out). The Sheriff must then determine who gets into the city with their goods, who gets inspected, and who may have their goods confiscated!ĭo you have what it takes to be seen as an honest merchant? Will you make a deal with the Sheriff to let you in? Or will you persuade the Sheriff to target another player while you quietly slip by the gate? Declare your goods, negotiate deals, and be on the lookout for the Sheriff of Nottingham! Players declare goods they wish to bring into the city, goods that are secretly stored in their burlap sack. In Sheriff of Nottingham, players will not only be able to experience Nottingham as a merchant of the city, but each turn one player will step into the shoes of the Sheriff himself. Should you play it safe with legal goods and make a profit, or risk it all by sneaking in illicit goods? Be mindful, though, as the Sheriff always has his eyes out for liars and tricksters and if he catches one, he very well may confiscate those goods for himself! However, players must first get their goods through the city gate, which is under the watch of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Prince John is coming to Nottingham! Players, in the role of merchants, see this as an opportunity to make quick profits by selling goods in the bustling city during the Prince's visit.
