“There is no question about the remarkable excellence and lure of the game Camelot. It has given me real and exciting pleasure. The author of the game has given us something that cannot fail to reach an immense permanent popularity.”
Jose Raoul Capablanca (World Chess Champion 1921-1927)
The legendary Capablanca was one of many mesmerised by the wonderful game of Camelot during its heyday in the 1930s.
It is hard not to be seduced by the unique character it possesses. While it shares aspects of many games, particularly Halma and Checkers, there is nothing else quite like it.
The game takes place between 2 sides of 14 pieces, 10 men and 4 knights, on an 160 square board. The object is to steer 2 of those pieces safely into your opponent's castle area, or to remove all of their pieces from the board. However danger is ever present, particularly from the knights, whose deadly 'Knight's Charge' move can lay waste to your carefully marshalled army after one false move!
NuzzleTech's version of the game is fully scripted, with simple and intuitive controls. It comes seated in its own table, with a chair for each player.
