Avalon, a game with a story.
avalon，a story game
1.
Avalon is nothing
First of all, "Avalon" is a book that can be called a legend in the board game industry, I believe that even many years after that will be remembered, on the one hand, the gameplay of this game is indeed great, but on the other hand, we can not ignore the game background involved in the classic of the American designer "don e", which is also an important reason for Avalon's popularity in the world.
Avalon is an important island in King Arthur's legend.
Avalon, nicknamed "Wales Elysium", is the final habitat of King Arthur, surrounded by swamps and mist, and can only be reached by boat. The island is guarded by elves, and without time and age, nothing will grow old. In short, it was a holy place, an important part of Arthur's story.
The story of "Avalon" begins with the battle of the sword bar between King Arthur and Mordred, the two armies were bloodied and defeated, King Arthur's spear stabbed hard into Mordred behind the shield, penetrating the latter's body, Mordred found himself hit by a fatal blow, and with full strength, he resisted the handle of Arthur's spear with all his strength, holding the sword in both hands, stabbing at the side of King Arthur's head, and the helmet and the head cover were cut off by the sword........ If under normal circumstances, this should be the end of the story, both sides will die together, and the world will return to peace.
But legend has it that they were not dead, and Merlin and Pasieville escorted the dying King Arthur in a boat to Avalon in the hope that Arthur, who was still on the verge of death, would be able to drink the water in the Holy Grail and come back to life.
However, not everyone in the team wanted Arthur to be resurrected. Morgana, Mordred, and Oberon all joined the team and did everything they could to hinder the escort's movements and wait for the opportunity to assassinate Merlin, who knew the secret of the Holy Grail.
The story of the game unfolds from this point on...............

Who are they
The story belongs to the story, just like our Journey to the West and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the legend is always so beautiful, the good and evil are so clearly distinguished, in fact, which people who appear in the story have many evocative lives.
Mordred
One of the two protagonists of the Battle of the Sword Bars. Legend has it that Morgana used a drug to cause King Arthur to mistake her for Queen Guinevere, and although King Arthur and Morgana spent only one night together, Morgana managed to conceive Mordred, who possessed King Arthur's bloodline. King Arthur had never seen Mordred and did not know what he looked like, so he ordered that a child of Mordred's age be put on a small boat and drifted down the river, away from Britain. It is no wonder that Mordred is bent on revenge on King Arthur. From the game's art, it can be seen that the publisher still has some consideration for the legend, although as a "villain", Mordred is not a sharp-billed monkey cheek, disgusting, unconsciously permeated with a sadness.
Morgana
Morgana, throughout Arthur's legend. Legend has it that King Arthur's half-sister attempted to usurp the throne by repeatedly attempting to kill King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. Wait a minute, didn't she say that she and Arthur gave birth to Mordred, how is it still a sister-brother relationship, yes! You guessed it right, she and Arthur were incestuous, and it's no wonder Arthur wanted to kill little Mordred, after all, it was really unseemly. Morgana in the picture, the extraordinary between the eyebrows does not reveal evil, but "faint sadness", perhaps she is also a bitter, contradictory combination.

merlin
Merlin, a legendary and famous magician. Famous for helping King Arthur ascend to the throne and leaving behind various deeds, he was King Arthur's close friend and mentor. It was predicted that "Mordred" would destroy Great Britain. The absolute positive figure in the legend, one of the leaders of the Avalon trip, the resolute eyes in the picture are a portrayal of his image.

Pasieville
Pasieville, Knight of King Arthur's Round Table.
Pasieville was one of the noble knights led by the legendary King Arthur, following King Arthur as a loyal vassal and keeping them safe. This trip to Avalon was led by him, and it can be said that the core of the Avalon game, or the fulcrum of the early stage, is him.

Oberon
Vivian, the fairy of the lake, was the high priest of the Mother Goddess Cult and felt betrayed because King Arthur married the Christian Gennevel. Therefore, he used Merlin's admiration for him to spy on King Arthur, and entrusted his father, the elven king Oberon, to mix with the Knights of the Round Table to prevent Arthur from resurrection. It is clear that Oberon's painter told us that he was not human and possessed great powers, and it is conceivable that his soul under his distorted exterior was equally contradictory, but now he was on the side of "Modred".
About the Malay version of Avalon
The Malaysian version of Avalon and the previous version are the differences between the artist in the game, but it is this improved artist that makes me better appreciate the historicality of the author.
“
Avalon is not a new game, and many people are studying Avalon's routines, making videos and raiders. In fact, to be honest, I also like to watch other players analyze for a while, and I like to listen to the routines summarized by others. But to borrow a phrase from the master of "buy and buy", "Discovering routines in the game is also part of the fun of the game." "The fun of the game is not only about winning or losing, when we are exposed to a game with connotation and attitude, we should also come up with the same attitude, play with some connotation, play something of our own creation."
