Robin of Locksley

About this board game

Robin of Locksley is a two-player board game with an approximately 45-minute play time, released in 2019. Set in troubled England, it casts players as Robin of Locksley, stealing from rich Norman lords to help free the captured King Richard the Lionheart.

The game centers on a 5×5 grid of loot tiles, surrounded by a racing track. Players move Robin across the loot tiles to collect treasure, then sell loot collections made up of items in the same color. The gold earned from these collections helps power movement around the track.

Every space on the racing track presents a task that can help you gather fame. You may fulfill the task when you reach it, or spend one gold coin to pass instead. Choosing when to pursue a task and when to pay your way onward shapes your progress around the board.

• Collect loot tiles from the central 5×5 layout.
• Sell collections of loot sharing the same color.
• Spend earned gold to move forward on the racing track.
• Complete fame-gathering tasks or pay one gold coin to pass.

The objective is a clear race: be the first player to circle the surrounding racing track twice. With loot collection, colored sets, gold spending, and task completion working together, Robin of Locksley presents a focused contest between gathering resources and pressing ahead.

Its setting ties every action to the legend of Robin Hood, from taking wealth from Norman lords to raising fame while working toward the king’s freedom. For two players looking for a compact race built around loot and resource decisions, Robin of Locksley offers a direct route to victory: complete two laps before your opponent.
