An Arthurian area-control game on the misty isle of Avalon, where factions explore through the torn veil, bond mythic beasts and hunt the grail across two or three escalating seasons.
Who it's for
Players who like Arthurian myth with teeth, and who enjoy reading opponents as much as reading the board.
Not for you if…
Direct conflict and being outguessed on a simultaneous reveal sours your evening, or two hours plus is too long a sitting.
Vibe's take
Cutthroat and mythic – simultaneous card commitment means half the tension is guessing who else wants the same hill you do.
