Sheriff of Nottingham is a bluffing board game for three to five players designed by Sergio Halaban, Bryan Pope and Andre Zatz, first published by Arcane Wonders in 2014 as the debut title in its Dice Tower Essentials line. One player takes the role of the Sheriff while the others act as merchants trying to smuggle contraband goods into the market alongside their legal wares, declaring the contents of their bags and choosing whether to tell the truth, bluff or offer the Sheriff a bribe to avoid inspection. Merchants score points for goods that reach the market undetected, while the Sheriff is rewarded for catching smugglers and penalized for wrongly accusing an honest merchant. The role of Sheriff rotates each round so every player experiences both sides of the negotiation.
