When you add these things together and compare the raw production value of Sheriff of Nottingham Second Edition versus the original, the second edition still comes off well.

The lack of the Sheriff miniature is a shame (and a surprise to see CMON producing a version with less plastic than an older printing). In terms of component quality, Sheriff of Nottingham Second Edition is kind of both less and more at the same time. Another expansion also present in this version is the Black Market, which simply adds a few new cards and slightly more complex rules. On the plus side, anyone who knows the original game will already have worked out that by including the deputies, Sheriff of Nottingham Second Edition actually allows up to six players - which was only possible in the original game with the addition of an expansion.

Sheriff of Nottingham Second Edition is very similar to the original game (which was published by Arcane Wonders back in 2014. In 2021, a Second Edition of Sheriff of Nottingham was released, and I’ve finally got my hands on a copy.

Bluffing has always been a cornerstone of traditional card games, with games like Go Fish, Bluff and S**thead (or your local variant thereof) all being popular classics the world over.
