p:abstract
  • Camelot is an abstract strategy board game (like Chess or Checkers). One of the first games published by Parker Brothers, Camelot was invented late in the 19th century and originally published under the name of Chivalry. Its publisher, with a mixture of hyperbole and genuine pride, called it the best board game invented in the last 2000 years! The game flourished through dozens of editions and numerous variants, achieving its greatest popularity in the 1930s, but remaining in print through the late 1960s. In the 1980s, Parker Brothers briefly republished it under the name Inside Moves. It has been out of print since then, but it maintains a small core of fans who are hoping for another revival. Camelot is easily learned, and generally more fun for novices to play than either Chess or Checkers. It is exceptionally tactical almost from the first move, and therefore quick to play to conclusion. There is now a World Camelot Federation, with free membership, headed by Michael Nolan. (en)
