The tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table have inspired artists, scholars, and dreamers for over a thousand years. Now you can relive the legends of Camelot by sending powerful knights to mysterious lands in order to accomplish the world's greatest adventures!
Camelot Legends is a fast-paced, non-collectible card game for 2-4 players, featuring 100 different cards with illustrations from leading artists such as Ed Beard Jr., Quinton Hoover, Carisa Swenson, Melissa Benson, and Donato Giancola.
Camelot Legends divides the Arthurian world into three main locations: the chivalric kingdom of Camelot, the treacherous domain of Cornwall, and the enchanted realm of the Perilous Forest. Throughout the game, players create factions of characters who attempt to complete quests and overcome their enemies. Rival knights endeavor to surmount the difficult challenges that arise at each location. When the final event is complete, the knights who have accomplished the most challenging tasks capture the mantle of victory!
