Robin Wood is a board game released in 2018 for 2–4 players, 15–25 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Alexis Campart and its main mechanics are Memory and Role Playing.
In the Sherwood forest, the fight between Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham rages. Each faction tries to infiltrate the opponent side to control the Nottingham area. As a simple citizen, you are caught between those two factions. You just want to save your life by helping a faction or the other by identifying the opposing members. Robin Wood is a game of bluff and secret identities for two, three, or four players in individual or four players in team aged 10 years and up.
Robin Wood supports 2–4 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 Wood is 15–25 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 Wood for ages 10 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.
