ABOUT TAINTED GRAIL: THE FALL OF AVALON
Tainted Grail is an adventure, survival and exploration board game, that offers an immersive co-op/solo experience for 1-4 players and is centred around a non-linear, branching story. All this makes Tainted Grail a board gaming equivalent of the finest cRPGs out there.
The story launches in Avalon, many years after King Arthur’s passing. The Red Death humans once escaped from has yet again returned. And Guardian Menhirs are going dark one by one, enabling the island’s corrupting Wyrdness to claim Avalon back. In an effort to stop the inevitable, brave champions set out to find help in distant Camelot. However, none of them returned. You and your team members are the only ones left to take on the tasks. The outcasts no one would bet on emerge as Avalon’s last hope.
The story of Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon aims to push the boundaries of non-linear narrative. Building upon their rich experience, Awaken Realms has infusing, ambitious stories with excellent board game mechanics and striking visuals.
