In Sheriff of Nottingham 2nd Edition, players take turns playing the Sheriff, looking for contraband goods, and the Merchants trying to stock their Stall with the best goods. The Sheriff can inspect any bag they want, but they must be careful, as they'll have to pay a penalty if they find the Merchants were telling the truth.

This new edition includes updated rules, as well as expansions such as the 6th Merchant, Black Market, and Sheriff's Deputies.
