About this expansion

Sheriff of Nottingham: Royal Summons Promo Card is a 2014 promotional card for 3–5 players, designed for games with an approximately 60-minute play time.

Royal Summons is a contraband card played in addition to your hand. Its special ability creates a powerful incentive to remain truthful when the sheriff checks your goods.

If you are inspected while telling the truth, the sheriff must pay you 8 extra gold. The Royal Summons card itself is excluded from the requirement to tell the truth, allowing its ability to function almost like a free pass.

  • Played in addition to your hand
  • Rewards truthful declarations when inspected
  • Requires the sheriff to pay 8 extra gold
  • Acts almost like a free pass

The card adds a focused special effect to the inspection process without changing the central condition of its ability: the player must be telling the truth, except for the Royal Summons card itself. This makes the promo a notable addition for players who want to use its extra protection and payment effect.

Royal Summons was available to people who pre-ordered Sheriff of Nottingham from Arcane Wonders. As a limited promotional item, it is specifically identified by its special card ability and its original pre-order availability.

With its straightforward rule and substantial 8-gold reward, Sheriff of Nottingham: Royal Summons Promo Card provides a concise, memorable twist on inspection outcomes. It is a small addition with a clearly defined role: support a truthful hand and make the sheriff pay extra when the card’s condition is met.
