Interesting that they added lady Bradamante, since she was never used in Aurthurian legends. She's a character from the French Charlemagne legends, such as the Song of Roland. I guess there weren't any women warriors in the Aurthurian legends. (For my money, the Roland/Charlemagne cycle is superior to Arthurian legends).
Excalibur was a favorite, but I do have a dozen or more versions of the Arthurian stories. I remember the first time I read Le Morte de Arthur when I was 12 .
There are 2 actual CYOA games which are fun. I have Legacy of Dragonholt and Roll Player Adventures which I hear are good but haven’t had a chance to play yet. And I kickstarted Fighting Fantasy Adventures but it hasn’t arrived yet.
I own and have played the 2009 edition of Arabian Nights many times! It’s one of my favorite games. No surprise as I am a collector and enjoyer of choose your own adventure books and gamebooks. I’m hopeful to someday play this game as well!
That game looks really high quality.

That is interesting! I wasn't aware of her ties to Arthurian legend and was meaning to look her up.

The movie "Excalibur" still haunts me to this day. I've never read Le Morte yet, though.
What a great looking unboxing, this looks amazing.
Arthurian legends along with Greek/Roman myths are what helped me along into RPGs as a young lad.
You must have loved "King Arthur" the movie with Clive Owen then! I've been meaning to re-watch that one.

Thanks Ian! I will check those out.

Cool, Ian! Any other games that are like CYOA that you enjoy?
