A Gest of Robin Hood

There's a fine line between rebellion and crime. It's never been clear in Sherwood. It still isn't. In A Gest of Robin Hood you don't play a legend: you're writing it as it happens. On one side, Robin and the Merry Men; on the other, the Sheriff of Nottingham. No one is neutral. No one is innocent. Everyone responds to a different idea of ​​justice.

England is not a battlefield, it's a powder keg

There are no great armies marching in line. There are tired villages, exhausted peasants, dangerous roads, taxes that burn more than blades. Every decision matters because it affects the population, not just the enemy. To encourage disobedience, to suppress a riot, to turn a blind eye or to clench one's fist: Every choice shifts the balance between Order and Justice , and neither is ever completely “good.”

A story that changes with every game

Here you are not accumulating points: you are directing the real favor, step by step. Every action — a successful theft, a brutal collection, a revolt suppressed or fueled — pushes the story in a different direction. The moment of the Royal Inspection looms like a sentence: if it arrives and no one has yet prevailed, History will be judged by what's left on the table, not by what you intended.

An irregular, but legible conflict

Derived from the COIN system, A Gest of Robin Hood chooses to be more accessible without becoming superficial. The rules accompany the narrative rather than stifling it, leaving room for bluffing, timing, and reading your opponent. You don't need to know classic wargaming to feel at home. You just need to accept that every move here is a choice of sides.
