Description Edit | History

In most games, players compete against each other to achieve victory. Shadows over Camelot proposes a journey of a very different kind, where you and your fellow players, as Knights of the Round Table, will collaborate to jointly defeat... the game!

At first glance, this task seems simple enough. After all, shouldn’t a band of young and noble Knights - fleet of foot and sound of mind - easily defeat a game that plays itself? Alas your quest is further complicated by the ever-present possibility of a Traitor in your midst, biding his time, waiting to strike at the worst possible moment...

But enough words... Don your cloak, climb astride your warhorse and gallop into the Shadows to join us in Camelot!

1 Teaching Aid for beginners
Shadows over Camelot - Teaching Aid, version 1.0 Based on a thread by BGG user "Jodokast" on how he teaches the game, and including my own thoughts and experiences after having taught the game to many groups of new players (both "gamers" and "non-gamers"). Contains handy references for each quest to the corresponding Rules Book and Quest Book. I hope this helps you out!

9 SoC Rules Summary (One page)
Shadows over Camelot rules, Version 2.0 This document lists all of the applicable rules of the game onto one sheet of paper. True, it is a bit congested, but if you haven't played in a while and you want a refresher or you just don't want to look in the two different rulebooks AND the FAQ for answers this is the document to have. Note: It isn't the best Player Aid for a beginning player because it might be information overload. Version 2 contains an update on the seige engine quest, as well as increased font size for easier reading.
