Top 10 Hottest Board Games: February 2020

TAINTED GRAIL: THE FALL OF AVALON
In this game, starvation, sickness, violent weather, and random incidents all conspire to end your journey. What’s more, Guardian Menhirs, that ensured safe travel throughout the realm, are slowly going dark turning simple logistics into an involving puzzle. To overcome these challenges, the character you play must develop and grow along several conflicting lines of attributes, such as Brutality, Empathy, Practicality, and Spirituality. These traits unlock a rich choice of mutually exclusive skills and lead to different deck-building strategies, with the objective of making character advancement meaningful and deep. The designers of Tainted Grail: the Fall of Avalon aim to push the boundaries of the game’s non-linear narrative, building upon the Awaken Realms’ past experiences of infusing ambitious stories with engaging board game mechanics and striking visuals.
