About this board game

Knight Tales is a cooperative or semi-cooperative board game for 1–4 players that takes about 90 minutes to play. Together, players must defend a remote village from hordes of monsters across three days and three nights.

Blending character-building, set collection, and tower defence, Knight Tales creates a demanding puzzle where every decision matters. The game also gives players opportunities to complete daily quests and gain renown, helping make each session a unique experience.

A wide variety of interacting monster effects keeps the threat constantly changing. Players must manage a clever system involving fatigue, health, and wrath while responding to the pressure placed on the village.

  • Cooperative or semi-cooperative play for 1–4 players
  • Three days and three nights of village defence
  • Character-building and set-collection mechanics
  • Tower defence with a puzzly twist
  • Daily quests and renown to pursue
  • Monster effects, fatigue, health, wrath, and doom to manage

The doom mechanism empowers the bosses, triggering their own tactic-card decks and escalating the challenge. Understanding how these systems interact is essential as the danger develops and new problems demand attention.

With its mix of tactical defence, evolving threats, and meaningful objectives, Knight Tales asks players to solve a difficult scenario before the village falls. Whether working together or navigating its semi-cooperative tension, players face a distinctive challenge shaped by monsters, quests, and the consequences of their choices.
