Bloody Grail - Scenario Rules - 13 Rounds

Aug 27, 2026

Upload by Quinn

Bloody Grail is a 13-round scenario for 2 or 4 players where dreams lead into a tactical race to seize an unholy Grail. Victory requires obtaining the Grail Token and delivering it to a player’s Faction Town, while failure to secure it by the 13th Round ends the game for all. Timed events at rounds 6, 9, and 12 reshape the board and reward “Grail Knight” and non-titled heroes differently, while Obelisk visits drive Cleanse and Sacrifice paths that permanently restrict diplomacy.

FAQs

How do players win the Bloody Grail scenario?

A Hero must obtain the Grail Token and bring it to their Faction Town.

What happens if the Grail is not obtained by the end of the 13th Round?

The game ends at that point, and all players lose the scenario.

What are the key differences between Cleanse and Sacrifice when visiting an Obelisk?

Cleanse grants the “Grail Knight” title and forbids choosing Sacrifice afterward, while Sacrifice grants the “Blood Knight” title and forbids choosing Cleanse afterward. Each option also triggers distinct boons and deck/hand effects.
