Bags filled with cardboard goods are handed to a rotating Sheriff player who decides whether to inspect them or accept a bribe. You put green legal goods or red illegal contraband into a velvet pouch and declare exactly what is inside, usually lying through your teeth. The choice is how much money to offer as a bribe to make the Sheriff look away, or whether to tell the truth and let him inspect you so he pays a penalty. The snapping velvet bags are satisfying to use, but the game relies entirely on your group's willingness to argue loudly.
