Project overview

Your last chance to support the largest Kickstarter hit of 2018, critically acclaimed:

Tainted Grail is an adventure and survival cooperative Board Game set in a unique grim world, inspired by Arthurian legends. Filled with over a thousand cards, and countless pages of non-linear story, Tainted Grail offers an unforgettable, campaign-based experience for 1-4 players.

What makes the Tainted Grail special?

• Your characters are flawed outcasts, called upon after the true champions of the land failed or fell. Each has a unique flavor, a powerful ability, one big drawback, as well as customizable Combat and Diplomacy decks.

• Your decisions shape your adventure and the game world around you. Various statuses and cards change the way others react to you and frequently unlock new interactions.

• Guardian Menhirs that ensured safe movement throughout the realm are slowly going dark, turning simple travel into an engaging puzzle played on a sprawling, beautiful map.

• Some of your deeds swap location cards for their new versions, gradually evolving the game world.

• A dynamic, unique Combat and Diplomacy system makes using both your brute force and your negotiation skills fun and engaging.

• Regardless of whether you play alone or in a group of four, the game scales up to provide an adequate challenge. What’s more, you may add or remove players after each Chapter, modifying the group size as you go!

• Each campaign offers multiple branching paths and several alternative endings. After you survive it once, there are still lots of new things to see, and storylines to experience. In Avalon, there’s a legend waiting behind every stone and every tree.

That’s why so many backers decided to support the game, and so many reviewers loved the prototype!

The Pre-Kickstarter demo of the game received praise from several recognized boardgame industry professionals. See what some of them they had to say:

"I love this game.(...) If you like exploration games, if you like narrative games, this is something you really, really need to back.” - Man vs Meeple
