	Description Edit \| History

Who will become the King's First Knight?

Welcome to the world of King Arthur! As in the large board game, players in this legendary card game meet up with dangerous creatures and dark powers. As knights, they try to defeat their enemies, take part in jousts, and find the holy grail. Aside from power and prestige, they want one thing above all else: a seat at the right hand of King Arthur.
