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

Let me first say that the instructions are one page and take about 45 seconds to read. You learn while playing. Genius. The story is well thought out, it meshes with the game, you can play a chapter pretty quickly, and has a decent replay value with variation based on choices you make. The difficulty is right on the bubble so you usually win but not always. Given the story line, people actually want to get to the next chapter so this won't collect dust on a shelf. We played a chapter every weekend day till we were done and we're not hard core game people. High value for the money.

We're only on chapter 3, out of 8 (I think). But it's proven to be fun to play. Rules are easy to understand. But when buying a new game I like to watch videos with people playing or explaining the game. That helped. But like I said, rules are easy to understand.

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.

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.

Love the game!

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).

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.
