Ares Games Revives Wotan with Camelot the Build

Mar 1, 2013

Semi-dormant British game company Wotan Games is coming back from the apparent gaming ether by way of an Ares Games partnership with the announcement Ares is about to produce Camelot the Build. Talk about a horrendous title though! Sometimes I wonder if companies want to sell games in the U.S. with oddball titles which make nearly no sense. Regardless, Camelot is scheduled to premiere at Gen Con this August and the game is for two to six players who will be looking to complete King Arthur’s castle.

From Ares:

Camelot the Build is from game designer Julian Musgrave and continues Wotan Games theme of the Arthurian legend. It is a tile laying game of medieval castle building with all sorts of dubious stratagems, cunning tricks and subtle ploys.

‘I have known the team at Ares for a number of years and found them to be great people.’ said Laurence O’Brien, Director of Business Development for Wotan Games. ‘Looking at the quality of their production and games it was a logical step to work with them.’

‘Wotan Games have always offered great games and when they approached us we saw the proven track record.’ said Christoph Cianci, CEO of Ares Games. ‘They are looking to create quality hobby products and it has been great working with them.’

Camelot the Build is set to be launched at GenCon in August 2013. Wotan Games will be at GenCon and a number of conventions in 2013, including UK Games EXPO.

Wotan Games is a British board game design and publisher established in 1984. For 10 years they produced titles such as King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Excalibur and Merlin.
