The game has been well received by reviewers. “Rescuing Robin Hood is by far one of my favorite games of 2020! … I think this game easily replaces something like Catan,” says Louie Martinez, a reviewer from Circle of Nerds. Chris Goodlet from The Charity Board Gamer echoes the sentiment: “This was a fun solid experience. I think this is worthy of being on your family’s table and deserves your backing. The art is playful, the game play is easy to follow and I truly had a great time!”

Bryce Brown, CEO of Castillo Games, says, “We are looking to bring families together this holiday season.” The company is making its online version of Rescuing Robin Hood available for free from now until November 30th. Families and friends can begin a Thanksgiving tradition filled with hope, playing online this year and enjoying a physical copy next year. Details are available on the Kickstarter page.
