Board game card games have been popular in China for many years, when we mention playing board games, many people may first think of "Three Kingdoms Kill" and "Werewolf Kill".
As the first generation of board games to enter the Chinese market and the widest audience, the national acceptance of these two games is indeed very high. But today I want to introduce you to another board game with simpler rules and more advanced use - Avalon.
Avalon is a multiplayer-friendly, verbal description to drive development, and a contest of eloquence and analytical skills.
Usually Avalon can accommodate 5-10 people to participate, and its game mechanics are somewhat similar to werewolf killing, and each participant has their own identity card and their own camp. Compared with the lively entertainment atmosphere of werewolf killing, in Avalon's "battle", players need more analysis and judgment, which can be described as very "brain-burning".
What's special is that Avalon has its own game background: in the distant and mysterious land of Avalon, the forces of good and evil are fiercely fighting. The Righteous Knight of the Round Table needs to lead the team to complete 3 difficult tasks, but in the large number of people selected to hide the evil forces, in order to avoid failure, the righteous side needs to pick out absolutely loyal partners to help him complete the task as soon as possible.
Characters involved in the game:
Camp of Justice
Merlin, the eternal wise man, can clearly distinguish every member of the evil faction, except For Mordred. However, although Merlin knows everything, he can only convey the message to other righteous Knights of the Round Table through various subtle hints, because the true identity of this wise man cannot be discovered...
Paciville – Can see Merlin and Morgana, but don't know who the real Merlin is
Loyalist - Can only see his own identity card, need to follow the leader to make the mission successful, and protect Merlin's identity
Evil faction
Morgana, the "fake Merlin", can hide her true identity to confuse Paisyville
Assassin - The mission is to find the real Merlin and assassinate Merlin after three successful missions in the good guy mission, and the assassination is successfully victorious in the evil camp
Mordred, a character in the Justice Camp, cannot be seen by Merlin
Oberon – Unable to see his teammates or be seen by them, only Merlin knows his true identity
Minions - Evil Side characters, sabotage missions
Game Winning Rules:
Goal of the Justice Faction: Successfully complete 3 missions and hide the real Merlin
Evil Faction's objective: Complete 3 mission failures, or find the real Merlin to assassinate, and if the assassination is successful, the victory will be won
The reason why Avalon is more fun than werewolf killing is because the game goal setting is clear, there are not many characters, and the camp is clear, so that everyone does not have to invest too much energy to remember the game characters when playing, and can devote themselves to the game, give full play to their own wisdom, and show their personal talents.
If you go to the board game store again, you may wish to try this game and experience what the "art of speaking" is while playing.
