About this expansion

Sheriff of Nottingham: Merry Men is a 2017 expansion for 3–6 players, adding five modules to the base game plus an option for a sixth player.

Each module introduces a different way to change how goods are smuggled, bags are searched, and rewards are earned. Use the modules individually or combine them to add new rules and opportunities to your game.

  • Deputies: In six-player games, two Deputies can replace a single Sheriff. Both decide whether to search bags or let people pass, sharing punishments and rewards. If one searches despite disagreement, that Deputy receives the result alone.
  • Merry Men: Add illegal goods represented by Merry Men characters. When successfully smuggled, they are revealed and their special abilities activate.
  • Black Market: Three sets of bonus cards display illegal goods. The first player to successfully smuggle the indicated goods receives the cards and a large reward.
  • Laws: Sheriffs draw three law cards and keep two. Those laws remain in play for the entire round.
  • Special Orders: These cards show a combination of one legal and one illegal good. Smuggle both items in the same bag to claim the card and its bonus gold.

With its modular design, Sheriff of Nottingham: Merry Men lets players decide which new rules to include. The result is a flexible addition that supports games with three to six players while introducing new goods, laws, bonuses, and Sheriff decisions.
