Shelfside reviews Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, an epic, kickstarter campaign RPG board game that blends Arthurian legends and Celtic mythology in its dark fantasy world. This tabletop experience may look like Dark Souls, and probably is heavily inspired by it, but Tainted Grail does have its own unique adventure, and how to play it is entirely different. Combat is card based as you deck build and upgrade skill cards, there’s dice that make skill check attributes for exploration, and a ton of resource management as players try to survive the harsh island of Avalon. Exploring is done through the exploration journal, a choose-your-own adventure book that drives the story forward as players make role playing decisions together at game night. However, all these mechanics and rules overhead are kinda doing their own thing, and possibly get in the way of enjoying the story as they end up causing a massive grind...
Note: Us being sent this game from Awaken Realms did not affect scoring.
