Tainted Grail (Kings of Ruin) - Board Game Review - A Worthy Sequel?
Kings of Ruin is a new stand-alone story campaign from the team behind the acclaimed Tainted Grail board game, set in the same universe. Playable with a brand new set of exciting characters, it continues the stories of Fall of Avalon, Last Knight, and Age of Legends while also providing a perfect self-contained entry into the saga for new players.
During your experience with the game you will explore new land (with a totally changed system of traveling through Wyrdness), solve encounters with force or diplomacy with unique puzzle card system, and develop your heroes with new passive skills, cards and powerful items.

Who Am I?
One single batchelor from the UK talking about his passion for board games and the people who play them! I support small content creators, board game cafes and go against the status quo when it comes to the board game industry. I give my honest opinions without bias towards any publishers or designers and will not hold back if I don't like a game.
The Broken Meeple is a variety channel that hosts all kinds of board game content from reviews to Top 10 lists to playthroughs to live stream collaborations with special guests (predominantly small channels who deserve more exposure).
I look forward to engaging with you, the community on my live streams or in the comments on my videos!

The writer/designer of this game is Krzysztof Piskorski, who's a well-known fantasy novel writer here in Poland. He won both the Zajdel Award and the Żuławski Award (two most important Polish SF&F awards) several times.

I wish his books were translated into English. Love the Tainted Grail writing and story so much! It’s the first board game I’ve played where I thought: this would make an incredible streaming TV series

@MarkThould 3 месяца назад

Received my copy today and it's taking pride of place on my shelf of shame. Just need to finish Sleeping Gods, Lord of the rings journeys in middle earth, Roll Player Adventures and ISS Vanguard first..... Hopefully I'll be finished in time for Arydia... 😂

@VikingKittens 3 месяца назад

I really enjoyed your thoughts on this game, as I am still waiting for my copy. Tainted Grail has been the most fulfilling campaign I have played, and I look forward to returning it to the table. I would enjoy hearing your comments when you have finished. Cheers

@markponthier5265 3 месяца назад

Loved your review! Im at the end of Chap 6 and playing it solo 2 handed with Gerdwyn and Osbert. If you aren't going to use the Fall of Avalon 2.0 upgrade pack, I will buy them from you. Great job!

@TheBrokenMeeple 3 месяца назад

Probably going to need it if I don't keep the OG TG stuff though.

@iansutton7416 3 месяца назад

Tainted Grail's combat indeed innovative, and I can see the appeal, but really only for solo or 2 player. Playing the game with 4 players, it was much too long to have 1 player 'doing their thing' whilst the others sat there 'like stuffed chooks'.

@TheBrokenMeeple 3 месяца назад

Yeah I don't think it's a group game honestly.

@jonvega3736 3 месяца назад

I love myself the idea of a campaign game. I have Oathsworn, pandemic legacy, Gloomhaven: Jaws, and Kings Dilemma. The sad thing, as you said, is the commitment and the required player count. Just requires to remember all the rules, stick to the game and not play anything outside of it. I was only able to get into the first mission/session of them and then they just sit on my shelf :( I can't see myself buying another campaign game just so I can stare at it on my shelves :P

@gregorys9629 3 месяца назад

Enjoyed your comparison to other campaign games you've played - seems to be omitted from a lot of reviews of this type.

@TheBrokenMeeple 3 месяца назад

Yeah people don't offer many comparisons or use weird ones at best.

@NeilY1000 3 месяца назад

Mine came today …. Will replay the original game using the new rules and have some fun! Then onto KoR

@ChadHensley 2 месяца назад

I loved my limited experience with the first game but the opportunity to set it up and leave it set up was greatly minimized so I never got very far. Finally started having opportunities to play but discovered the were releasing new rules updates so put it on the back burner until those arrived. Everything came in a few weeks ago along with Kings of Ruin. Now I'm trying to decide which to play first, the original or the new one. Leaning towards Kings of Ruin at the moment. And I have all of the gameplay elements including extra expansions from the first campaign. What would be your advice for diving back into Avalon? Does it make a difference if you know the first story when playing the second?

Blue Spoilers on the table 🤦

@clvrswine 3 месяца назад

Price is a major part of the equation. We can get 2.3 games for the price of this 1 game. Is this as fun as 2.3 other games? This is something I take into account. This was a great video, Luke.

@TheBrokenMeeple 3 месяца назад

Thanks!

@nicolasarevalo6024 2 месяца назад

IMHO yes, it is, at least for me. Granted, there are a few exceptions let's say you buy Inis and Marvel Champions Core box and an expansion box... maybe I would take that, if they were my only board games.

@bigeye6606 2 месяца назад

Pal and I loved the first campaign and the prequel campaign. Looking forward to this one.

Ooh yeah, was looking for this one, lets see it.

@user-yq2ws9eo6q 2 месяца назад

Great review. Thank you. l'll be soloing this beast, but it seems you don't really recommend true solo. What are your thoughts on how it would be two-handed?

@TheBrokenMeeple 2 месяца назад

Well I mean I'm still enjoying it true solo, it's just a harder challenge. Two handed takes some piloting but it's doable.

@howardsherman591 2 месяца назад

I have not played kings of ruin yet. But you HAVE to play Red Death. It was my favorite campaign from the original series

@TheBrokenMeeple 2 месяца назад

Isn't it crazy stupid hard though?

@howardsherman591 2 месяца назад

It's difficult but it's not as grindy as the original. There aren't any menhiers to light so exploration is more free. Plus, since you're supposed to take a character that has finished a campaign, you start off pretty strong which balances it out @@TheBrokenMeeple

@Titanicus_ Месяц назад

Is there any replayability in this game? AR mentioned in the campaign that it would be more replayable. I want to get more for my money than 1-3 playthroughs

@TheBrokenMeeple Месяц назад

I say two playthroughs are your best expectation. There are two clear distinguished paths you can follow and 4 characters.

@mubeensaddique5270 3 месяца назад

How many hours in total do you think the entire campaign will take? Excited to try it

@TheBrokenMeeple 3 месяца назад

Somewhere between 30-50 I reckon

@lajeit Месяц назад

Please make a video about the differences for the 2.0 version

The Kickstarter projects for Kings of Ruin and the publisher website should herald these details.

@TheBrokenMeeple 2 месяца назад

Can't you get one direct from the publisher? Not looking to sell mine separately because I still do need to try Red Death at some point and if I do sell the old stuff, people are going to want that kit.
