Now available in the USA from Rio Grande is Artus.  Compete with your fellow Knights to get the most coveted position next to the King in all of Camelot.  The Knights and King sit around the Round Table.  Players play cards to shift their respective knights closer to the king to gain points.  The trick is that the table actually rotates, so the most valuable seats can change.  The King can change too, or simply decide to shift his position.  It takes strategy to plot the best moves so that you can score the most points to win the game.

Artus is a game for two to four players and was designed by Michael Kiesling & Wolfgang Kramer.   The actual box art looks a lot better than the pic from the Rio Grande site shown here.

From Rio Grande:

The players lead a group of Knights at King Arthur’s court. They try to continuously increase their group’s prestige by placing as close behind the King at the round table as possible as well as by completing various assignments.

But be careful! Those who don’t react quickly enough will soon find their fortunes turning and their Knights back on undesirable seats around the round table again. That can cost a lot of prestige. Since the King keeps changing positions during the game, and since a new King is crowned from time to time, the players are forced to always keep repositioning their Knights around the round table. Let the competition for the best seats begin! The winner is the player with the most prestige points at the end of the game.
