## Description
Shadows over Camelot: Sir Bedivere, the 8th Knight arrives as an expansion that originally appeared in the German Spielbox magazine, issue 3/2005, and later showed up in other European publications. The product includes a Sir Bedivere miniature, a character card, and an orange die, all ready to be dropped into the main Shadows over Camelot campaign. The goal remains protecting the Round Table from dark threats, but now a new knight joins the fray, bringing unique abilities that shift the game's flow. Core mechanics are hand management – carefully selecting which cards to play each turn – and variable player powers, as Bedivere’s special abilities affect gameplay. The expansion was later reprinted in Shadows over Camelot: Merlin's Company, so players who missed the magazine can still enjoy the content. Supporting 3‑7 players, with a playtime of about 60 minutes and a light weight (2.2/5), the addition slots in easily without bogging down the game. Perfect for fans of the Arthurian setting who want a bit more strategic depth without a steep learning curve. If you already own the base game, Sir Bedivere is a quick, thematic upgrade that enriches the experience without demanding extensive new rules.
