• OBJECT OF THE GAME: Camelot is a 2-player game of elimination and capture. Players move alternately, starting with the player controlling the white pieces. There are three types of moves pawns and knights are permitted to make during the turn; a plain move, canter, and jump (or capture). Utilizing these moves in turn, there are several ways to win the game:
> the game is won if a player moves any two of his pieces (Knights and/or Pawns) into his opponent’s Castle (represented at either end of the board).
> the game is won if a player captures all of his opponent’s pieces and has two or more of his own pieces left.
> the game is won if a player has two or more pieces, and his opponent is unable to make any further legal move.
The game can be decided a draw if both players have no more than one piece left.
A rules pamphlet is included with the game.

PLEASE NOTE: All my items are crafted by me, in my home studio and workshop. I am a one-man show, with no ‘production partners’ to help mass-produce any item (though I will source pawns, etc. from quality reputable dealers). Be assured that when you buy an item from me, you are getting a distinctive creation from the original maker. Given the inherent nature of the handcrafted work, time frames for more complex creations, whether the complexity is the art, the build, or a combination of both, can be extensive. Please be patient; I communicate and update customers regularly with the status of their unique creation(s).
