From boardgamenews.com:
The Sheriff of Nottingham is in trouble! His time in power is nearing its end, and he hasn’t quite managed to get enough cash together to buy another year in office. So he sends his Deputies out to collect the overdue taxes and promises to promote the most successful Deputy to the rank of Chief Assistant. Is it any wonder, then, that the Deputies think nothing of occasionally picking their colleagues’ pockets?

Quotes (from this video)
- it's really simple partyish game for two it's fun whenever anybody would suggest playing it I would play it
- the game is actually really simple you have this pyramid of cards and all you do on your turn is either pick one card take it in your possessions or you can destroy the card and get money for it
- there's overwhelming amount of choices because the exact placement of the card will mean the actions on it are stronger
- I really want to play it at least a couple more times to figure out it's staying but I really liked it I like the narrative I feel like the theme really fits the game
