Cleverly, it comes with two bookmarks – the gold bookmark marks your place in the story, and the red bookmark reminds you of any essential game mechanisms that you might need to check on later. The book could have been an app – might even have, in some ways, have been better as an app – but if we associate Robin Hood with reading, the book is a reminder of that connection. This is one of the design decisions that really gives the game a luxurious, overproduced feeling. You interact with the tiles by referencing them in the hardback book that comes with the game exploring tile 450, for example, means that you turn to page 450 (hint: there is no tile 450). Fancy some delicious mushrooms? Now you see them … now you don’t.
Some tiles might even “move” – or possibly allow you to move – from one place to another. You put them back into the board at the end of each “chapter” and may be told to reset some or all of them when next you play. As you play, you interact with the tiles, maybe flipping them over or removing to disable them or change their use. It’s a thick, double-layered board, with tiles set into it. The first novelty here is the design of the board. There’s one spoiler about an advanced rule for subsequent playthroughs but otherwise I have been careful to avoid giving anything away. I’m going to focus on three of them which, I find, make the game interesting as a set of mechanisms as well as as an unfolding story – the board design, the story, and the movement – before I talk about the game as a whole. It’s a highly scripted game that nevertheless gives the players a very open set of choices, and that offers some innovative gameplay features. Robin Hood is a cooperative, heavily story-driven game for 1-4 players, who take on the role of the notorious outlaw and his band of Merrie Men (including one woman, Maid Marian, ably played by my beloved, and Little John, played by our adult daughter The Bigster).

Since then, we’ve played it seven times, completing our first full play through. On the recommendation of friends, I added The Adventures of Robin Hood to my “interested” list and fortunately my husband Fraser was listening, and delivered with a Christmas gift. Time: about an hour per chapter Box cover: The Adventures of Robin Hood
