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.
