About this expansion

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon – Niamh is a character-focused addition for 1–4 players, with sessions lasting about 120 minutes. Released in 2020, it introduces a flexible heroine who can adapt to the needs of almost any party.

Niamh is a jack of all trades, born on the streets and raised by thugs and grave robbers. Unlike other characters, she has no basic deck of her own. Instead, she can use any basic deck, choosing from four general archetypes and entering any campaign.

This unusual freedom makes Niamh a valuable choice when assembling a party. She can help close gameplay gaps and give your group more flexibility when deciding which roles and abilities it needs.

  • A character who can use any of the basic decks
  • Compatibility with any campaign
  • Her own character board
  • 30 unique upgrade cards for combat and diplomacy

Niamh also brings the Streetwise ability. When she is alone, it lets her slip in and out of Settlements unmolested, offering a distinctive way to approach these locations.

Her versatility comes with a significant cost. Niamh is notorious in many places, so she suffers a substantial Reputation penalty that also affects everyone travelling with her. In Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon – Niamh, adaptability and notoriety are inseparable, creating a character defined by both exceptional choice and meaningful consequences.
