Legend of Camelot (1987)

About this game

From the back of the box: "Relive the Legend of Camelot by commanding a valiant force of knights, ships, mighty catapults, a dragon and dragon slayer. Lay siege on your opponent's castle while you defend your kingdom from invading forces." Game includes four plastic castle with working drawbridges and many colored plastic pieces for the various units. The game board is fairly large with river ways, roadways, fields, and forest all neatly squared off to fit within grid spaces. Play is fairly simple "roll and move" warfare with various ranged or melee attributes per unit. Only 1 sheet of rules (front and back).

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
