The set includes the stunning cooperative board game “Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon” and the expansion “Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon – Niamh”. Gallu the Rooster recommends diving into the dark world of Arthurian legends and Celtic mythology right away with this must-have expansion.
“Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon”
Each player embodies one of four heroes who, against their will, must face trials that proved too much even for far stronger and wiser champions. Fleeing the advance of the malevolent force of Wyrdness, the characters embark on a long journey during which they will repeatedly fight unequal battles for resources and face dangerous encounters — all to achieve the impossible or perish on the way to their goal.
Every stone and every tree in Avalon hides a legend. All locations have their own rich histories and secrets. Places and characters are often far deeper than they appear. As you gradually piece together the big puzzle, the land always prepares a surprise around the next turn. Many secrets are revealed only after several playthroughs. The author of the story is one of Poland’s finest fantasy writers — Krzysztof Piskorski. He has created a truly non-linear narrative that pushes the boundaries of the genre and draws on vast experience.

“Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon – Niamh”
Niamh is a promo character for the game “Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon”. She is a universal fifth traveler who can be added to any campaign. Niamh is completely unique among all other characters.
She has 30 unique upgrade cards for combat and diplomacy. Her special ability Streetwise allows her to slip unnoticed into settlements and out of them — provided she travels alone. But there’s a downside: Niamh is very well-known (and not in a good way) in many places. Because of this, she receives a significant reputation penalty that affects everyone traveling with her.
