Knights of Camelot

Knights of Camelot is a fantasy board game published in 1980 by TSR. The game is set during the reign of King Arthur, and the players take on the roles of chivalrous new knights who go forth looking for damsels in distress, brigands, monsters, and other knights to joust with. The game was designed by Glenn and Kenneth Rahman, with box art by Kenneth Rahman (under the pseudonym Eymoth) and Erol Otus, and interior art by Jeff Dee, David S. LaForce, David C. Sutherland III, and Kenneth Rahman. The map was designed by Darlene Pekul.

Why is Knights of Camelot Popular?

Knights of Camelot is part of a growing trend in the 1970s to move games involving Arthurian legend from simplistic fare for children to increasingly sophisticated adult games. The game treats the legend seriously, even reverentially, and includes all major and many of the minor figures, both male and female, from the Morte d’Arthur.
