A totally unique item! This is your one chance to own an advance copy of Arcane Wonder's brilliant SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM boardgame which has been signed by both the real, genuine, incumbent Sheriff of Nottingham, Councillor Jackie Morris and Nottingham's Official Robin Hood, Tim Pollard.
As well as having portrayed Robin Hood for over 21 years now Tim is a long-time gamer himself so Arcane Wonders very generously donated this advance copy to be auctioned off for charity. Robin and the Sheriff signed the game in the Sheriff's Parlour in the Council House in Nottingham's Old Market Square after setting aside over 800 years of conflict on October 2nd this year (just after they had helped open Nottingham's 720th annual Goose Fair - these days a fun fair but back in the time of Robin Hood a trading fair exactly as portrayed in this great game).
The game has been signed on the cover (and again with the date inside the box lid). As an extra it will also contain some special (non-game) cards from both Robin and the Sheriff as well as some very rare enamel badges and more fun extras as a thank you for winning the game.
The game has had the shrink-wrap removed for signing but is otherwise untouched, all components are pristine, untouched and unplayed.
You can see a video of the Sheriff and Robin signing the game here:

About the Game (from BoardGameGeek.com)
Prince John is coming to Nottingham! Players, in the role of merchants, see this as an opportunity to make quick profits by selling goods in the bustling city during the Prince's visit. However, players must first get their goods through the city gate, which is under the watch of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Should you play it safe with legal goods and make a profit, or risk it all by sneaking in illicit goods? Be mindful, though, as the Sheriff always has his eyes out for liars and tricksters and if he catches one, he very well may confiscate those goods for himself!
In Sheriff of Nottingham, players will not only be able to experience Nottingham as a merchant of the city, but each turn one player will step into the shoes of the Sheriff himself. Players declare goods they wish to bring into the city, goods that are secretly stored in their burlap sack. The Sheriff must then determine who gets into the city with their goods, who gets inspected, and who may have their goods confiscated!
Do you have what it takes to be seen as an honest merchant? Will you make a deal with the Sheriff to let you in? Or will you persuade the Sheriff to target another player while you quietly slip by the gate? Declare your goods, negotiate deals, and be on the lookout for the Sheriff of Nottingham!
Sheriff of Nottingham is the first game in the Dice Tower Essentials Line from Arcane Wonders.
