Shadows Over Camelot
Game Information
A lone swallow flies across the grey skies of Brittany...
The forces of evil are gathering around Camelot - The Black Knight was sighted atop a desolate ridge; a scheming Morgan plots her revenge; the Saxon troops are on the move; and acres of timber are being felled for the siege engines.
And yet Lancelot has all but vanished, with Excalibur yet to be recovered. These are heavy times indeed...
Will you, young squire, come forth and pledge allegiance to your fellow Knights at the Round Table? Is your heart of pure intent and ready to sacrifice for the good of all? Or will the dark promise of power seduce you into treason? Shadows Over Camelot is a unique collaborative game featuring a malevolent twist! As the incarnation of the Knights of the Round Table, players work together to defeat the forces closing in on Camelot. But beware players must be vigilant for a traitor in their midst who is biding his time secretly sowing the seeds of havoc and destruction. Yet too much suspicion will undermine the knights efforts to protect the kingdom. These are dangerous times indeed...
