Sheriff of Nottingham

[Morrus]

Just played this this evening. Enjoyed it immensely! I love the bartering/bluffing element. Anybody else tried it?

Yep. A very good game. Part of the Dice Tower Essentials line. The trick is knowing when to bluff. It is all about gaming the Sheriff, and knowing the person playing the Sheriff. Always sparks lots of post game banter.

Sent via magic sending while journeying on a quest.

Well, I've read that the best strategy in the game is actually not to bluff, ever.
Even if that isn't completely true, it didn't exactly help to spark my interest in actually playing the game.

I did that. Came last by a large margin.

I did that in the last game I played and came in second. But the winner had a significant lead and the third and fourth place were close on my heels.

I want to like this game because I love bluffing games but I just can't figure out how to play it well. I do very well reading people when we play games with elements of lying, like Diplomacy, but I can't read the same players when the interaction is so limited (e.g., "Three chickens."). I guess I'm not that good at reading people in those circumstances so the decisions I make as the Sheriff feel uninformed to me.

Tom Vassel, from the Dice Tower, announced that there is an expansion coming for Sheriff of Nottingham.

Yes! Several times. It's best with 4-5. It's a fun game that teaches you which of your friends can bluff, which can't, and what grudge matches are all about.

Also played with my group a couple times. It was just awesome, I totally found out who to trust or not in my life!
