How to play

An animated walkthrough. Watch a round happen a beat at a time, then meet the cast and look up the expansions.

A round, start to finish

The leader names a party. The whole table votes on it — not just the people riding. If it passes, only the riders play a card, face down. One Fail sinks most quests. The cards are shuffled before they are turned, so nobody learns who played what. That argument is the game.

The first night

Everything anyone knows for certain comes from one minute at the start: the traitors learn each other, Merlin sees the traitors but not Mordred, Percival sees Merlin and Morgana without being told which is which, and the loyal servants are shown nothing at all.

The expansions

• Lady of the Lake — at seven or more players, the holder learns one player's true allegiance, then passes the token to them.
• Excalibur — the leader arms one rider, who may flip another rider's card after the fact.
• The Lancelots — one loyal, one fallen, their cards forced, and their sides able to trade mid-game.
• Plot cards — nine cards dealt face down each round, from seizing leadership to secretly examining a played card.
