The Game Of Robin Hood (1893)

"In merry England, in the time of King John and at the same time that the Crusaders were waging war in Palestine, there lived in Sherwood Forest a young and dauntless robber named Robin Hood. His two lieutenants were Little John and Friar Tuck. This bold robber was hotly pursued at various times by the Sheriff of Nottingham, but was very successful in evading capture, in fact, it became unsafe for the Sheriff to pass through Sherwood Forest, although he was supposed to be in control of it. This game represents the attempt of the Sheriff to pass from the town of Nottingham to one of the King's Castles at the right hand of the board. This is a Roll and Move game. On some spaces, players may lose turns or move back a few space. The first player to move from start to finish wins. Players must spin the exact number needed to win. "
