The latest installment in the Irregular Conflicts Series, A Gest of Robin Hood, has now landed on BGA, offering players a fresh take on the legendary outlaw. Designed by Fred Serval, this streamlined, folklore-driven entry builds on the mechanisms of the COIN Series while reimagining Robin Hood’s tale through the lens of insurgency and state power.
Unlike traditional Robin Hood adaptations, A Gest of Robin Hood presents a layered interpretation of the character- bandit, liberator, and trickster- all within a historical and strategic framework. Players can embrace Robin as a guerrilla leader fighting against the Sheriff of Nottingham, whose rule is defined by force, taxation, and counterinsurgency tactics reminiscent of modern state conflicts. The game explores deeper themes of power, rebellion, and the thin line between outlaws and enforcers.
This release trims down complex mechanics, reducing playtime to around 60 minutes while maintaining a tactical depth. The system introduces a two-player initiative mechanic, event-driven narratives, and asymmetric play-styles, ensuring dynamic and evolving gameplay.
While some elements of the system may feel rigid, the game excels in capturing the tension between folklore and historical realism.
For strategy enthusiasts and history buffs alike, A Gest of Robin Hood offers a compelling dive into the legend through the lens of political conflict and insurgency, making it one of the most approachable COIN experiences yet. The Board Game Arena version is now available, inviting players to step into the boots of the Merry Men or uphold the Sheriff’s rule in the ever-contentious forests of Nottingham.

GEST ROBINA HOODA: Zadaj je marsikaj!
Najnovejši del serije Irregular Conflicts Series, A Gest of Robin Hood, je zdaj pristal na BGA in igralcem ponuja nov pogled na legendarnega razbojnika. Ta poenostavljen, folklorno usmerjen vložek, ki ga je zasnoval Fred Serval, temelji na mehanizmih COIN Series, medtem ko na novo predstavlja zgodbo Robina Hooda skozi lečo upora in državne moči.
Za razliko od tradicionalnih priredb Robina Hooda A Gest of Robin Hood predstavlja večplastno interpretacijo lika – razbojnika, osvoboditelja in prevaranta – vse znotraj zgodovinskega in strateškega okvira. Igralci lahko sprejmejo Robina kot gverilskega vodjo, ki se bori proti nottinghamskemu šerifu, čigar vladavina je opredeljena s silo, obdavčenjem in protiuporniškimi taktikami, ki spominjajo na sodobne državne konflikte. Igra raziskuje globlje teme moči, upora in tanke meje med izobčenci in izvršitelji.
Ta izdaja zmanjša zapleteno mehaniko in skrajša čas igranja na približno 60 minut, hkrati pa ohrani taktično globino. Sistem uvaja mehaniko iniciative za dva igralca, pripovedi, ki temeljijo na dogodkih, in asimetrične sloge igranja, kar zagotavlja dinamično in razvijajoče se igranje.
Medtem ko se nekateri elementi sistema morda zdijo togi, je igra odlična pri zajemanju napetosti med folkloro in zgodovinskim realizmom.
Za navdušence nad strategijo in ljubitelje zgodovine A Gest of Robin Hood ponuja prepričljiv potop v legendo skozi lečo političnega konflikta in upora, zaradi česar je ena najbolj dostopnih COIN izkušenj doslej. Zdaj je na voljo različica Board Game Arena, ki vabi igralce, da stopijo v čevlje Veselih mož ali podprejo šerifovo vladavino v vedno spornih gozdovih Nottinghama.
