If you're already into the drama of The Resistance: Avalon and think the tension and plot twists could be dialed up even further, these promo cards are for you! Originally released for Kickstarter backers, they introduce two new elements that add an extra kick to your games. The Excalibur card adds a powerful mechanic: the mission leader can grant a special ability to a player, giving them an incredible advantage. But be careful! Using this power requires wisdom and trust, as it can change the course of the game for better or worse. Then there's Lancelot, which comes with two new character cards and seven supporting cards, offering three different ways to play. This means more mystery, more suspicion, and, of course, more fun for your group that loves a good social deduction and bluffing game. If you want to give your Avalon sessions a boost, these promos are a great find. They don't alter the core rules but add layers of strategy and unforgettable moments, perfect for those who have already mastered the game and are seeking an extra challenge. Get ready for more accusations, more betrayals, and more laughs!
