In this 2–4 player strategy game, four different factions clash for control over Sherwood and its riches. Play as the rebellious Outlaws, the ruthless Sheriff, the corrupt Bishop, or the scheming French Nobles — each with a unique playstyle, asymmetrical abilities, and their own path to victory. One robs the rich to give to the poor, another builds a monument to vanity, and yet another spreads titles and corruption like wildfire. Each round, players take three actions to maneuver, attack, capture enemies, or expand their influence. The map evolves during play, unlocking new possibilities, and strategic options — but growth comes at a price! Developing your faction gives you new tools but also opens up new possibilities for your opponents. Interaction is constant. Progress requires conflict. Victory demands control. With faction-specific upgrades, and dynamic tension from start to finish, HOOD: Troubles in Sherwood is a rich game of clever plays and brutal choices.

For one reason or another these are just shy of perfect. Whether it's mechanics, length, brain burn whatever. 4.0 - This is where a game becomes recommended. Now I may or may not be in the mood, or even own it, especially considering other games. But a 4 is where we cross from good to great.3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, will often lose out to better games, but there's a part of me that wants to own it/play it more. 3.0 - A good game, I enjoy playing it. But also if I never play it again I'm not losing any sleep over that. 2.5 - Wasn't the biggest fan. Wasn't the worst, but didn't feel like the best use of time. Would prefer not to play again but am willing to given the right circumstances. 2.0 - A game I don't want to play again. I'm not saying it isn't good, I'm saying I don't want to play it again regardless of circumstance. 1.5 - I did not like this game, do not want to play it, and think it's a fairly flawed game. 1.0 - I can't imagine rating a game this poorly ever. It would take something so abysmal I probably didn't get to even play it.
