Nottingham
A quick, backstabbing card game where the Sheriff's deputies grab taxes and rob each other silly.

The Sheriff of Nottingham needs cash to buy another year in office, so his deputies race to collect overdue taxes, and cheerfully pick each other's pockets along the way. A quick, mean card game of grabbing coins and goods while sabotaging your fellow tax collectors.
Who it's for
Bigger groups who love light, chaotic card games with open thievery and no hard feelings afterward.
Not for you if…
You dislike take-that and being targeted, or want a strategic game with control. At low player counts and calm tables it falls flat, and it is long out of print.
Vibe's take
Loud, mean and fast, all about timing your swipes and protecting your loot while the table cackles at each betrayal.
