Shadows Over Camelot: Jerry Holkins, Mike Krahulik, and Tara Strong join Wil on TableTop SE2E11

[@rknight718]

Wil is so right. When I played this with my friends I was the traitor. I managed to get the grail and talked a fellow knight into sacrificing their health to zero under the promise of using the grail to revive them. His face when I refused.....so worth it.

[@Senok13]

When we played with my family, my brother was the traitor... And he played King Arthur too... Lesson learned: NEVER trust in the King!

But it's all the same voice.

[@AdamYJ]

So, the Once and Future King has turned away from the side of righteousness and proven to be a traitor. The Knights of the Round Table have killed themselves rather than face defeat. And Camelot has fallen. Yet, it's a good day for Wil Wheaton. Is it okay if I don't feel happy for Wil this time? It just doesn't feel right with this one.

[@gamester512]

It could actually have been Mordred posing as Arthur. :P

[@georginacalvarad4763]

Wow

[@daniellekreeger8785]

Whenever my family/friends play this game we always come up with crazy stories for why our knights lose life points. For example, my sister, who plays as Sir Tristan, said this notably while on the quest for the Holy Grail. "Sir Tristan was just finding a clue to the Grail when a wild hand maiden appeared. She was offended by his purple cloak, and smashed him with her staff. Sir Tristan lost a life point because he was so ashamed a female knocked him out."

[@cjcathead2468]

not because he was knocked out but because of shame XD

It says something about Mr. Wheaton that the only times he's ever won are in games with traitor mechanics and he IS said traitor.

[@warrynfullagar745]

Michael Westmoreland the funny thing is that I saw Wil wins, and my first thought was that this game might have a traitor mechanic.

@@mbalazs3544 how is it broken, its chance, he got traitor and the king, its gg.. a bad player could still lose the game with this combo, but its wil wheaton. slaughter ensues... and also at 14:38 wil did make a mistake and almost had his cover blown but in reality, the only way to defeat a traitorous king is to prolong the reveal as long as possible, so he may have wanted his cover to be blown... i dont see wil as a careless mistake maker also with a proper clairvoyance play, you have a chance to turn the tables, but the clairvoyance play was pretty noobish i think mike may be an overthinker and a weak player, maybe only in this instance, but wil caught on to that and used it against the whole team

[@justsomeone407]

Catapults and Life points are like the emergency reserve in this game. And the fact that they are using them up instead of drawing black cards early in the game = almost guaranteed defeat (even if there is no traitor). The thing is: grail + excalibur completed = catapult, and if you put catapult to complete those quests early, it means Cats on Cats on Cats

I know some rules get changed in Tabletop to make it more ...showworthy(?), but one of the key rules is that if a knight chooses to take his last life (aka kill him/herself) as the evil act, the knight still gets to do their turn before they actually die....not that it would have helped in this case.

[@imaloony8]

You need a lot of players for this game to be balanced with a traitor. We played without a traitor and it was still tough. Honestly, the traitor can be totally transparent and still win. Just add a siege engine every turn; they'll soon run out of steam trying to fight them, and since you don't need to even pretend to help them to keep up the charade, they've effectively lost a knight. Sure they'll get a small bonus for calling you out as the traitor, but it won't be enough to save them. In a small game the traitor gets more turns and the knights will just get overrun.

[@Niludjenkins]

[@osriccauldwyn]

I love this game so hard. Tip: It's always best to deal out the Loyalty cards so that there may not be a traitor at all. If you know there's a traitor, it makes the game way less fun than not being sure whethere there is a traitor or not.

[@asyncritus]

You are correct, and they did break that rule a couple times; however, the scenario you describe is legal because those are actually two different actions (even though the end result is the same). Killing a catapult while in Camelot is "Perform an action related to the Quest you are on", whereas merlin-ing a catapult is "Play a Special White Card". What you cannot do is draw cards while in Camelot and kill a catapult.

[@src248]

Wait, did Tara cheat? Her card says departing from the round table is free, not returning.
