Leave your nobility at the door in this lighthearted game of hilarious backstabbery! Use any tool to find Excalibur and keep it safe in your “virtuous” hands.
Excalibur is a party game filled with bluffing and subterfuge. Draw tiles from Avalon to find Excalibur, then use the powers of Arthurian legends to keep it safe from the other would-be kings 'round the table!
During each round, players simultaneously draw chips from the 3 regions of Avalon on the table and then reveal them one by one, resolving their effects and discarding them. The game ends when a region of Avalon has no more chips. A player must hold the Excalibur chip to win, otherwise everyone loses.

5.0 - My absolutely favorite games, I will rarely if ever turn down an opportunity to play these games.
4.5 - Oh my gosh, the absolute best games...but also I'm not always down to play them. For one reason or another these are just shy of perfect. Whether it's mechanics, length, brain burn whatever.
4.0 - This is where a game becomes recommended. Now I may or may not be in the mood, or even own it, especially considering other games. But a 4 is where we cross from good to great.3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, will often lose out to better games, but there's a part of me that wants to own it/play it more.
3.0 - A good game, I enjoy playing it. But also if I never play it again I'm not losing any sleep over that.
2.5 - Wasn't the biggest fan. Wasn't the worst, but didn't feel like the best use of time. Would prefer not to play again but am willing to given the right circumstances.
2.0 - A game I don't want to play again. I'm not saying it isn't good, I'm saying I don't want to play it again regardless of circumstance.
1.5 - I did not like this game, do not want to play it, and think it's a fairly flawed game.
1.0 - I can't imagine rating a game this poorly ever. It would take something so abysmal I probably didn't get to even play it.
