What is Shadows over Camelot
Shadows over Camelot is a cooperative/semi-cooperative hand-management and deduction-based board game for 3–7 players.
Each player represents a knight of the Round Table and they must collaborate to overcome a number of quests, ranging from defeating the Black Knight to the search for the Holy Grail. Completed quests place white swords on the Round Table; failed quests add black swords and/or siege engines around Camelot. The knights are trying to build a majority of white swords on the Table before Camelot falls.
On each knight's turn, the knight takes a "heroic action", such as moving to a new quest, building his hand, or playing cards to advance the forces of good. However, he must also choose one of three evil actions, each of which will bring Camelot closer to defeat.
Moreover, one of the knights may be a traitor, pretending to be a loyal member of the party but secretly hindering his fellow knights in subtle ways, biding his time, waiting to strike at the worst possible moment...

What the community says about Shadows over Camelot
Juego clásico semicolaborativo, pero con rol traidor oculto, del estilo de la cosa o el galáctica. Está ambientado en la corte del rey arturo y hay varios frentes en los que los jugadores deben colaborar para mantener el reino a salvo. Es interesante. Lo conocí en las Asturlúdicas naked de 2024. Estuvo muy bien la partida.
pretty unbalanced towars the traitor! not my type of game.
muy buen juego cooperativo, el arte es espectacular
One of the first cooperative games, an adventure with lots of deception.
Me gusta muhco este juego cooperativo. Además, se trata de un buen juego introductorio. La posible presencia de un traidor en la partida le da un toque de emoción muy especial. I like this cooperative game very much. the potencial presence of a traitor is a very special mechanic that makes the game exciting
