Tournament at Camelot
Tournament at Camelot review
Tournament at Camelot is a trick-taking game that’s easy to pick up but offers a lot of strategic depth. The premise is simple: you're a knight in King Arthur's court, battling your opponents with weapon cards, and the last one standing wins. What makes this game stand out are the unique character abilities, "Godsend" cards, and a focus on taking the *least* number of tricks. Each trick you take reduces your health, so you have to carefully balance your attacks with avoiding damage.
The game itself is fast-paced and exciting, and the "take that" elements keep things interesting. I really enjoy the artwork, which is done in a medieval style that really captures the theme. The cards are also a nice size, making them easy to read.
One thing I will say is that the game can be a bit swingy, especially with the Godsend cards. These cards can give you a significant advantage if you're behind, but they also add a lot of luck to the game. However, I find this to be a minor drawback and it doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.
Overall, Tournament at Camelot is a fun and engaging trick-taking game that I highly recommend. If you're looking for a game with a unique twist on a classic mechanic, this is definitely worth checking out.
