Was sent the wrong size on a pair of slides. The correct size was out of stock. Ray returned my original payment asap PLUS told me to keep the incorrect order. I donated the item. Cannot say enough about how awesome the customer service is with this company.

Now here's a fun little game that is perfect for family game time! I'm a huge gamer and love really deep thematic games... this is not that but this is fun in it's own right but hits perfectly if you have a family that likes to game together. Or, you might just have some non gaming friends who would like to try gaming... this would be a great gateway into gaming for them. Or, maybe your gaming group just needs a light night, again, this game is perfect.

The minimum age recommended for this game is 10. I think for the basic mechanics that is fine but it might be pushing it a bit for children that age to get the broader strategy. But, it is a great way to teach that way of thinking. Side note here, there is some math and logical thinking involved in playing this and I think it's great how this will help your kids grow.

Game play is a push your luck kind of mechanic. There is a Hurray! moment when you defeat your row of bad guys and a let down when you lose to them. No guts, no glory though right? The game scales up as you play leading to an eventual showdown with the Sherriff of Nottingham if you get that far.

I really enjoyed playing this and it will definitely come back to my gaming table in the future.

Very easy recommendation here!

I played this with two of my kids (15 and 12), and it always takes us awhile to learn a new game, but this one was much easier to pick up than most, with great instructions. It took us a couple hours to play, and I expect will be even faster and smoother now that we are familiar with the set up and rules. I also really enjoyed how integrated the gameplay is with the Robin Hood theming and story. The artwork is fun and inviting, and the characters even have built in personalities and quirks, which you can read about in the accompanying character guide booklet. The kids also noticed right away that the praying hands tokens (one of the special abilities) were portrayed in an array of skin colors, which was so thoughtful, and made us feel represented. The premise of the game is to save Robin Hood and the villagers, with each player building and refining their individual army of characters, plus being able to pass on elements and strategize with other players. We won our first game, but it wasn’t easy, and the final round really had us working together thinking through the best strategy! We all really enjoyed playing this--plus, there is the educational component of constantly practicing practical math skills like adding, multiplying, and probability. For me this game is the perfect combination of beautiful artwork, fantastic theming, fun family time, and real skills. And I also love that the box insert is set up to organize the components neatly!

I played this with my girlfriend and both had a lot of fun while playing it. She doesn't like playing games that are competative/versus because I frankly win too often when 1v1, so we like playing games that are co-op (like this one). It really is a cooperative game as we both were each thinking a lot and collaborating on trying to win. We even did cheat a little while playing but still lost - it wasn't challenging in stressful kind of way, but rather challenging in a fun kind of way. A lot of the difficulty is in a few of the mechanics being a bit random, but in a way where you can calculate your odds and guarentee victory despite it (kind of like Poker or something).

We worked together and built our army and fought through each day / level until the last day (there are 5 days in the game). We felt pretty confident about winning, but had a hilarious last battle where I basically set it up for my girlfriend to win on her attack, but she got greedy and wanted win the bonus level (defeat the Sheriff of Nottingham) and as a result, whiffed and didn't even rescue Robin Hood. It was pretty funny and I am fondly remembering playing it as I write this.

I really enjoyed the min-maxing of my army and the stats versus the enemies on the board so we could defeat the bonus quest, and my girlfriend really enjoyed the character names and trying to figure out what they meant (a lot of the character names are puns, like "Waldew Respect" and "Tim Burr."

Although we didn't even win, I can easily see this being a go to board game for game nights. The difficulty can be adjusted from the base level, (which if you don't get greedy, you can definetly win without too much difficulty), to adding more difficulty with the bonus level, and then there are extra challenge cards too to make the game even harder than that. Frankly there's a surprising amount of value here as well as replayability when considering the RNG between set up (each time you play is different), the RNG of attacking face down cards, and trying to beat the different challenges.

Highly reccomended 10/10
