A Gest of Robin Hood is the second game in the Irregular Conflicts Series, further adapting the COIN system to depict peasant revolts, feudal tax collection, and outlaw activities in late 12th century medieval England. Transposing one of GMT’s most popular systems into a simpler format and a more approachable setting makes A Gest of Robin Hood perfect for newcomers to wargaming. At the same time, it also offers a tight challenge for more experienced wargamers who can enjoy a tense asymmetric duel in under an hour.
Highlights:
An ideal entry point to the COIN system and the ICS series: a two player, relatively low complexity game with a family friendly theme that plays in one hour and introduces all of the key concepts found in the COIN series.
A new hidden movement mechanic: The Sheriff will chase Robin Hood across Nottinghamshire to prevent him from organizing peasant revolts, but Robin can sneak away and hide amongst his Merry Men.
A second new hidden movement mechanic: Carriages serve as a simple twist on Lines of Communication, transferring wealth back to Nottingham while providing a target for robbery by the Merry Men-but some of them might be a trap, containing concealed Henchmen!
Random encounters with rich travelers: Robin Hood draws from the Travelers Deck when conducting a Rob action, then decides whether to play it safe or demand a larger ‘donation’ with potentially negative consequences.
A streamlined sequence of play: Further developing the two-player sequence of play first found in Colonial Twilight, this new sequence of play is easy to understand while still presenting difficult tactical decisions.

My gaming buddy (not at all a war gamer), is eagerly looking forward to playing this game. We've gone over the rules & she feels they are manageable. So, The Hunters two years ago, Western Front Ace last year, now A Gest of Robin Hood... she is worried that she has started down the war gaming rabbit hole.
That's how it begins...
vi-JEYE-nuh-guh-ruh 😀
Great second video on this. Look forward to your up coming playthrough. Would you suggest COIN newbie play as Robin Hood or the Sheriff or does it matter?
I would say that Robin Hood feels the most straightforward. It's not that the Sheriff is harder, it just feels more unforgiving. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for showing this off! As a die-hard COIN fan, I'm convinced that I want this now, looking forward to getting my copy.
It is a neat game that will help others to get into the system. Especially because it only requires 2 players
Great overview of the game. May have to pick this up at WBC if GMT brings some.
I am enjoying it so far! Thanks for watching!!
Money is public, you don't hide it behind your screen. the screens are nice but (given you can deduce what wooden pieces your opponent has off-board) but their most useful feature is as a player aid - the text is well done.
Yes, thank you for mentioning that, although I'd be inclined to hide the money behind the screen as well, as that's another layer of bluffing.
Guys thanks for the review it looks like an awesome game! Can I just please ask... how do you not have a better camera for close ups of board games? It's like you are using a phone cam from 1999, the wuality is terrible and fuzzy and it ruins the impact of your videos. It's so bad we can't even read the larger text on the board. Please improve this!
We were having some issues with our top camera (it wasn't a phone) that day for some reason. I think my colleague Flash has got it fixed now. Sorry for the quality issues - we will do better next time!
one odd thing. listening to the sound, it's only coming out of the right speaker. very odd. I tried it on my other computer and it does the same thing. Of course, on my iphone it's fine. Maybe, i'm just crazy but I figured I would at least bring it to your attention.
Yes, I noticed that as well. I don't know what caused it, but I am looking into it! Thanks for telling us!
Did I miss it? Can you play this solitaire? As your earlier videos point out, you can with other games in the COIN series and it seems like a missed opportunity if an introductory game doesn't accommodate solo play.
No, you didn't miss it! You can't play it solitaire, though - or, at least, not easily. There is a bluffing element to the game that would be hard to replace in a solitaire version...
