King Arthur is looking for a worthy heir to the throne! With Merlin's help, he tries to find the ideal candidate among the Knights of the Round Table. Each player takes on the role of one of the Knights of the Round Table and strives to win Arthur's favor to become the new king. The dice allow each player to move Merlin or his own knight on the circular action track. The square where they end their move indicates the possible action. Each player controls the movement of his own knight, while Merlin is moved by all players.
There are three counts during the game. Players must repel traitors and can earn victory points from Manors built in the domain, from their Influence in the Provinces, and from their Servants placed on the board. In addition, players can complete quests to gain additional victory points. The player who most efficiently plans his or her move on the track and completes the most quests, without neglecting the intermediate counts, will win the most VPs and become the successor to King Arthur!
