Awaken Realms Talk Arthurian Legends In Tainted Grail + Win Exclusive Goodies!
Awaken Realms are stepping into the world of Arthurian Legends with Tainted Grail. This is looking utterly awesome, featuring some stunning miniatures and some great mechanics which help tell a winding narrative on the tabletop.
3 x Tainted Grail Artbooks + Exclusive Coin
Make sure to tell us what you think of this one as it seems to hit the nail on the head for fans of Fantasy AND Historical in a way.


































really cool minis, love the blacksmith
cant wait to back this game on kickstarter
favourite game so far
Who doesn’t love some shiny Arthurian goodness?
not blown away by the minis, but the game sounds interesting. many nice ideas. i will follow the KS very closely.
Minis are interesting but story too long. Is it War & Peace.
Love awaken realms, really looking forward to Tainted Grail and Nemesis!!
@dignity – forget the donkey, what you want is a peasant banging together two halves of a coconut. ?
Minis look good; not sure about the game, sounds a bit heavy going to me; think I’d be more interested in a novelisation of the plotline than playing the actual game.
That coin looks really cool. 😀
This is a fantastic RPG! 100hrs is nothing since I have made my way through KDM, Gloomhaven and Pandemic Legacy. The game looks great. The different characters especially the one that is dying is a great twist. The legacy aspect of the map is great! I love games where you try to combo your cards. The story already sounds like it will be great. My only concern given the level of quality these go to and the size of the game, this is going to be a $200+ KS pledge. Still look forward to it, hopefully they KS in January as there is already too many game coming out in the next two months.
where can i get this. i need this in my life
Awaken Realms are on fire! Really interrested in learning more about this game when the KS campaign starts!
The minis look fantastic and the art as well would love an artbook.
I’ll add another game to my kickstarter watch list then…..damn I’m gonna be broke
Can’t wait to see the narrative part and observe how the board changes as we take decisions!
Hope you get them over for a lets play,like to see it in action
Wow, looks like a tremendous game. I have yet to back anything on kickstarter as I look at game and they look good but I am never too sure it is for me. This one is me. Can’t wait.
played a demo and its super cool
AR is one of the best BG companY
Game looks fantastic, I will keep this one on watch list.
Wow – what beautiful artwork on this game, and one of my favourite themes as well.
Having backed some of their games I can only say that this one is probably another home run.
Intriguing
does time work differently or something, it’s been 400 years oh and arthur is dead . . . I imagine he would be after 400 years.
Is it a cup, or state of mind?
A cup? right make mine a pint
I like the way Tainted Grail is shaping up. Looks stunning and the background is interesting.
So its arthurian gloomhaven, with extra rules?
Creepy looking models!
This looks amazing – will keep a watch out for the ks
Very beautiful. AR makes great games too.
Enjoyed the comprehensive overview. Combat mechanics look quite innovative, and aesthetically a neat twist on a classic theme.
