CMON Sheriff of Nottingham 2nd Edition - Medieval Bluffing & Card Drafting Strategy Game (3-6 players, 60 min)

Overview

Step into the bustling market of Nottingham, where merchants trade bold wares while the Sheriff keeps a wary eye on every stall. In this bluffing and negotiation game, Merchants aim to fill their stalls with the best goods, while the Sheriff inspects bags to separate truth from misdirection.
