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.

罗宾汉传奇:暗潮涌动!
作为 非正规冲突系列 的最新作品, 罗宾汉传奇 现已登陆BGA,让玩家得以扮演这一传奇法外狂徒。由Fred Serval设计,这款以民间传说为灵感的流畅作品,在沿袭COIN系列机制的基础上,通过叛乱与国家权力的视角,重新诠释了罗宾汉的故事。
与传统的罗宾汉改编不同,罗宾汉传奇在历史和策略框架内对不同角色——强盗、解放者和骗子——进行了分层解释。玩家可以将罗宾视为与诺丁汉警长斗争的游击队领袖,而诺丁汉警长的统治则由武力、税收和镇压叛乱策略确定,这让人想起现代国家冲突。该游戏探讨了权力、叛乱以及亡命之徒与执法者之间的牵连等更深层次的主题。
此版本精简了复杂的机制,将游戏时间缩短至约 60 分钟,同时保持了策略深度。该系统引入了双人主动机制、事件驱动的叙事和非对称游戏风格,确保了充满互动且不断发展的游戏过程。
尽管系统的某些元素可能让人感觉僵化,但游戏出色地捕捉了民间传说和历史现实之间的张力。
对于策略游戏爱好者和历史爱好者来说,罗宾汉传奇通过政治冲突和叛乱的视角,为这一传说提供了一个引人入胜的探索视角,使其成为迄今为止最具亲和力的COIN体验之一。Board Game Arena版本现已推出,邀请玩家扮演快乐的男子汉,或维护诺丁汉森林中备受争议的治安官的统治。
