Excalibur

2–8 players · 25 min · 14+

Leave your nobility at the door in this lighthearted game of hilarious backstabbery! Use any tool to find Excalibur and keep it safe in your “virtuous” hands.

Excalibur is a party game filled with bluffing and subterfuge. Draw tiles from Avalon to find Excalibur, then use the powers of Arthurian legends to keep it safe from the other would-be kings 'round the table!

During each round, players simultaneously draw chips from the 3 regions of Avalon on the table and then reveal them one by one, resolving their effects and discarding them. The game ends when a region of Avalon has no more chips. A player must hold the Excalibur chip to win, otherwise everyone loses.
