About this game
Knights of the Round Table cooperate to complete quests, from finding the Holy Grail to defeating the Black Knight. But one knight might secretly be a traitor working to doom Camelot from within. Complete quests to place white swords on the Round Table; fail them and black swords appear. If black swords ever outnumber white, Camelot falls. The traitor mechanic creates constant paranoia as players question every suspicious move. An early cooperative-with-traitor design that still delivers genuine tension around the table.
