The Adventures of Robin Hood | A Kosmos Game | Family-Friendly, Cooperative, Role-Player, Story-Driven Game for 2 to 4 Players, Ages 10 and up

I didn't know much about "Robin Hood" but it was nice to learn about the heroe through this game.It is a great adventure game. By following the story, you will learn the rules of the game. If you have played "The Legend of Andor," you know what I mean. From the middle of the story, things start to get very exciting. You should make good use of items so that luck will be on your side. You can play the game leisurely by yourself, or have fun with several people.Maybe I was unlucky, but the box was broken on the one I received. It's a little disappointment, because the artwork on the box is very nice.Aside from that, the game is still very interesting.

We used to play mainly complex resource management games but the pandemic has made us crave less conflict and more stories. Which is just what this game delivers. It's easy to get started with, the story is engaging, the game itself held our interest without being too difficult, and board game enthusiasts can enjoy the very clever design. We played all four characters as two players and thoroughly enjoyed all seven chapters. In a few months we'll come back for another run through on the more challenging alternate storyline.I would love to see a sequel or another game in the same family; there is nothing else quite like it other than classic video games such as Steve Jackson's Sorcery! For your reference we have also enjoyed Near and Far (not cooperative but very story-based), Spirit Island (also cooperative but much more complex). We couldn't get into Legends of Andor (cooperative but with a weak story and repetitive gameplay) and greatly disliked Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion (cooperative but solely about violent combat).

This game was on my radar for a while and took the plunge. And I’m glad I did.The components are good quality. Each character has wooden tokens to represent them and wooden tokens to measure movement as the game is open and no grid use.The board is a love and hate. The idea is fantastic since it has little tiles you flip and resolve the effect indicated. This gives you a good sense of exploration and an original concept. The negative is the fact that the tiles are stuck in there and getting them out with out a tool damages the tiles from the very first game.The game is played guided by a hard back story book. This is great as you follow the narrative and see the consequences of your choices with your chosen character. The down side is after you play with all four characters then you might not have the drive to play it again as you know where everything is and the narrative. This is specially true for the solo player who gets to see the whole of the book as you play.I do recommend it as a great gateway game to others more crunchier. The star missing is due to the board tiles being too stuck and the replayability issue. Other then that is a solid game.

According to my 6 year old, this “is the best board game ever!”We have lots of games in our house but this one has been the best for her as she is really into books.+The game offers a tutorial to easily and quickly get started, learning while playing. I found this to be great for getting to know how it all works.+Movement is mildly fiddly but it’s fun, tactile, and easy to grasp.+We are only on Chapter 3 but I love how each game weaves something new into the gameplay while enhancing the narrative.\Story is interesting enough to keep my 6 year old compelled but is nothing amazing.-You will need a mini suction cup to get the board tiles out. After you flip them a couple times they come out easier but before that was difficult and damaging to the tiles.I’d generally highly recommend this families with kids ages 7-12 that are into board games, chapter books, or both.

My wife and daughter and I all enjoy this game. It's basically a choose-your-own-adventure book with a game board and some interesting game mechanics that I've never seen in other games before.The game was obviously translated into English from another language, and there are a few minor errors and some weird phrasing because of that. For example, there's a common instruction to "throw" a cube into the bag where a more natural way of saying it would be "toss" or just "put." But none of that detracts from the actual gameplay.

Highly recommend this game to others. It gives you a sense of adventure while maintaining the sense that your character is vital to the success of the mission you are on. The movement is a little up for interpretation as the pieces slide as you determine distance traveled in a turn but the game is very fun and puts you in the feet of the character of Nottingham. Just buy it! You will enjoy it!

More fun than anticipated, the whole family enjoys. Eve. My middle daughter that usually doesn’t like to play board games seems to enjoy this game. My wife surprisingly is the least excited - even though she specifically prefers cooperative games, possibly because it’s narrative based?

Robin Hood is told over 7 chapters/scenarios (though it gives you a big decision that shapes the game and gives a reason to play the story a second time) and is a fun strategic narrative game that teaches you as you go. The board and story has mysteries, and decisions you make affect everything. My wife and I played it and loved it. I am greatly looking forward to an expansion!

Plays really well. So far done the first couple chapters. We enjoyed the combination of narrative adventure story and choosing your own path on the game board and engaging with the various characters and features. It helped having one person reading the elements from the book. Looking forward to playing more chapters.

Amazing interactive board. My kids 9 and 10 love it, especially flipped over tiles and the way the story unfolds. Had a minor glitch with a missing part but Amazon hooked me up with a replacement game 2 days later.

Played this with my 8 year old son - 7 Wonders Duel and Carcassonne are our faves so this story-based and co-operative game was different, and appealed because of the legend/history angle. We’ve played through the campaign once, without much difficulty although we did use the extra grey disc for “easy” mode.The board is large and really nicely illustrated; the pieces are also quality and the movement mechanic cool and engaging. As many have noted, flipping cardboard inserts over plays a large part and I’d worry these pieces would get very dog-eared over time.We enjoyed the gameplay, although certain points got a bit tedious (trying to find the numbered guards to flip in and out of play when the “seals” are played once per turn). The story is basic but kept up a good momentum. There is a time limit based on hourglasses and I think this sometimes meant we rushed a bit - along with the linear nature (realistically we will only play through once more, with the game having a I and II playthrough track) it felt we maybe didn’t get to explore the possibilities or nuances of new items and rules. Maybe that’s the nature of a CYOA structure but it felt a bit sad.The rules themselves weren’t too complex once you got the hang of them, and the game’s storybook introduced and developed them well. I think we both felt the game might have worked better with a higher number of players and characters rather than just us two.Overall, although I don’t think this will get as much use as some, if you’re happy spending this kind of money on a board game, it’s a solid purchase with an evocative setting.

I love this game but box lid came broken

This game managed to differentiate itself from other legacy game with a strong combination of smooth gameplay, tactical experience and good story telling. A very good family game all around
