Camelot

Camelot has a specific Heroic Action attached to each of its two sections, the Round Table and the Siege area outside the fortress' walls.

When in Camelot, you may choose to perform a Heroic Action to: Draw 2 White cards Or Fight a Siege Engine.

Drawing 2 White Cards

There are no limits to the number of White cards you may have in your possession at any time during the game. But, if you have 12 or more White cards in hand, you cannot choose to draw any more additional White cards as your Heroic Action. …

At the start of the game, in a gesture of the collaboration to come, each player must select one White card from his hand and place it, face up, on the Round Table. A discussion should ensue about how to best share those cards among all the Knights.

A Knight, in a noble gesture, may voluntarily take none of the shared cards, while others may pick up several. If there is disagreement (not a good omen of things to come!), the offered cards are shuffled and redistributed randomly to each player. You are now ready to begin. …

Joining In Mid-game

If a player wishes to join a game in mid-play, he simply draws one of the remaining Coat of Arms and Loyalty cards, and sits to the immediate left of King Arthur (or the player who started the game, if King Arthur is not in play). He then sets his Life dice to 4, draws 5 White cards from the top of the White draw pile, places his miniature in Camelot and waits for his turn to arrive.

If a player wishes to leave a game, he is considered to have immediately met a premature death. …
