Board Game Tainted Grail - The Fall of Avalon
This is an epic cooperative board game with elements of exploration and survival that immerses players in the dark and gloomy world of the legends of King Arthur and Celtic mythology. The game combines a captivating narrative and non-linear plot development with deep strategic mechanics.
The events of the game take place on the island of Avalon, where magic and myths are intertwined with reality. King Arthur and his knights have disappeared, and the land has fallen under the power of an ominous disease that has enveloped the island in darkness. You and other players take on the roles of ordinary residents who have become humanity`s last hope for salvation. You have to investigate the secrets of the world, solve morally complex questions and make decisions that can radically change the course of history.
You have four heroes to choose from. Each of the characters has not only positive traits, but also their own problematic sides. In addition, each of them has their own past and history, which can either help in solving future plot tasks or become an obstacle, preventing, for example, your hero from passing through some locations.
The game is based on cooperative gameplay. You and other players work together to overcome the difficulties of the world of Avalon, fight enemies, investigate mysteries and survive in this harsh world.
Important decisions made during the game can affect the development of events, changing both the game and the environment itself. The plot of the game campaign develops in 15 chapters, and depending on your choice, each chapter can end completely differently, which will affect future events in the party.
The highlight of the game is the unique card system of combat and diplomacy, which replaced the usual dice rolls. Players` clashes with opponents are implemented using a card system, where the strategic use of their resources and characters` abilities plays an important role.
The characters in the game also develop as the plot progresses. You can level up your hero, acquiring new skills, abilities, and equipment.
World map and menhirs
The map of the playing field consists of individual cards into a single structure. In some of its areas there are special statues - menhirs, which illuminate the available areas of the map around them. You will have to keep them on fire to disperse the fog of darkness over the field and get the opportunity to interact with locations (separate maps).
In a world where the environment is becoming increasingly dangerous, it is important to correctly allocate limited resources in order to survive.
This is a game that offers incredible depth and immersion in the atmosphere of dark fantasy, where every step can be the last, but gives hope for rebirth.
