Gamewright Quests Of The Roundtable(Red)

This imaginative card game, which won a National Parenting Publications Honors Award and made Game magazine's Top 100 list, succeeds in carrying players back to the legendary time of King Arthur's Camelot. Armed with weapon cards, ally cards, and other "battle points," players embark on quests, such as slaying dragons and searching for the Holy Grail. They fight treacherous foes, accept challenging tests, and try their hand at tournaments in an effort to earn shields and bump themselves up the ranks--from lowly squire to lofty Knight of the Round Table. The game is indeed elaborate, so youngsters may require some adult assistance getting started, but it's perfect for history buffs or anyone with an active imagination. It includes all necessary playing cards and shields as well as complete instructions that come with a nice bonus: a short history and list of related reading.
