Resolution 2020: Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon play through
Prologue
Beor, the smith’s apprentice, is sent to the nearby settlement of Whitening to purchase a fallen star ingot in the possession of the local tanner. Upon arrival Beor learns that the tanner left the village several months ago. Frustrated, tired, and wounded, Beor returns to Caumacht to find the whole errand was a trick. While he was away his master and the other heroes of the village left on a quest to Kamelot. Beor was deliberately left behind.
The tutorial prologue plays out in about one hour and is completely scripted. A pre-built deck is used to ensure cards are drawn in the correct order to match the tutorial instructions. I found it to be a good way of teaching the game sequence as well as the combat and diplomacy mechanics.
Although the tutorial is short I have already got the feeling that the world of Avalon is cursed. Beor’s cold treatment by the people of the neighbouring village shows how untrusting everyone must be and the crucial dependence on the Menhirs is clear.
