About the game
In the fast-paced game Robin, you have just joined Robin Hood's merry men in Sherwood Forest. You can help at the Sherwood Forest camp, rob travelers on the road to Nottingham castle, bring messages from Robin, and scout the neighborhood for information. The more risk you take, the higher the rewards — but take care because if you get too close to the castle, you'll need to go back and hide in the forest before the sheriff's guards can catch you! You want to be the first to accomplish seven missions of the same type in order to become Robin's new lieutenant. Of course your friends want to become lieutenants, too, so you will have to be swift and daring to succeed before them.

Questions and answers
Robin supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Robin is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Robin for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Robin has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Robin belongs to these categories: Card Game, Movies / TV / Radio theme, and Medieval. Its main mechanics are Set Collection and Trading.
