Probably fun, but if I want a fun game I'd most likely play something else. It's weird and you don't have a lot of control, we didn't feel like exploring it further than 2 games. Some folks love it though, and I really like the old-school artwork.

On the one hand, I think that Tournament at Camelot does its Arthurian theming nicely, with some delightful artwork. There are also plenty of laughs to be had at players’ wild misfortunes. On the other hand, there is everything else. Tournament at Camelot is a trick avoider in which every card taken deals damage. The strongest player left standing when another expires is the winner. What sets it apart from other trick takers are special abilities, in the form of your protagonist, their companion, and a whole host of one-use Godsend cards that are taken by the most injured players every hand. And many of those abilities have major effects (lead to every trick, play with your hand visible to all, when I play a poison card the highest card wins the trick rather than the lowest, and so on). The result of all this is way too much chaos for my taste. Those special abilities aside, it feels as though there is too little that can be done to mitigate a bad hand. Being void in a suit is simply bad, while holding low value cards spread across the suits is so much worse. Card quality isn’t great and while the tarot-sized cards offer plenty of space for text and art, they are a devil to shuffle. As so often in games with lots of special abilities, questions arise about how they interact and precisely when they trigger.

Not sure what I ever saw in this. For the most part you have no decision on your turn, and when you do it’s just based on pure guesswork. Whoever is dealt the higher cards will always win.
