Playing Time

60 - 90 Minutes

Player Count

3 - 7 Players

Shadows over Camelot is a cooperative/semi-cooperative hand-management and deduction-based board game for 3–7 players. Each player represents a knight of the Round Table and they must collaborate to overcome a number of quests, ranging from defeating the Black Knight to the search for the Holy Grail. Completed quests place white swords on the Round Table; failed quests add black swords and/or siege engines around Camelot. The knights are trying to build a majority of white swords on the Table before Camelot falls.

A fun but tricky co-op. The possible traitor element makes it really tense. Gameplay can become a little repetative after a while but the theme makes it a fun experience for everyone

A great co-op (possible traitor) game. So many areas to play. Work with others or go on your own.
