Tournament at Avalon takes players to the land where Excalibur was forged; building on the innovative mechanisms of Tournament at Camelot with new characters; cards; and mechanisms; allowing players to focus on informal diplomacy or alliances alongside the standard combat of the original game. It's a deep; challenging experience all on its own; with extra depth and complexity for players who own both games!
In the game; you play as a legendary character; battling opponents with weapon cards: arrows; swords; deception; sorcery; and even alchemy. The more you injure your opponents; the better you fare in the tournament. However; even the most injured characters can make a complete comeback with the grace of Godsend cards and the aid of their special companions. This trick-taking game ends when one opponent has been injured to the point of death. The player with the most health is then declared the tournament victor!
In Tournament at Avalon; you also have cards representing the legendary enchantress Morgan Le Fay and a new set of location panels that grant additional advantages to a player when they are the host of a tournament round. If you have Tournament at Camelot; you can mix and match your favorite cards; playing with either ruleset or combining the two games to play an epic Chaos of Battle tournament with seven or eight players!
