The Tales of Arthur is a collectible card game that features tales from the legends of King Arthur, Queen Guenevere, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table. Tale cards are played by collecting and playing all the required components of each Tale, such as characters, items, and creatures. These component cards also have game effects. Each deck is comprised of a Quest, which includes the Quest card, the Tale cards in that Quest, and each of the component cards of the Tales.
