Dynamite has announced a brand new board game featuring the colorful cast of characters from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The beloved British comedy masterpiece is now available in tabletop form, and fans can reserve their copies alongside extras via the BackerKit crowdfunding platform. The campaign is live now and already funded.
Those who pledge to secure their copy in the first 48 hours will receive an exclusive window cling featuring the iconic Black Knight!
Players are each one of the Knights of the Round Table. Together alongside King Arthur, they begin the legendary quest to track down the Holy Grail, and just like in the 1975 film, they will encounter not only the infamous allies, foes, and obstacles, but an epic amount of absurdity.

Prepare to battle the Black Knight and deal with his indomitable, flesh wound-dismissing spirit. Get ready to catapult cows! Gather up your coconuts, and between two and five friends total, and set out on the greatest quest ever quested! No one will be able to say “ni” to this laughing riot of a game!
A playthrough of the game will take about 40 to 60 minutes, depending on the party size and pace of play. The gameplay is a mix of competitive and cooperative, with fellow Knights of the Round Table being treated as “frenemies.” Traveling across the board, players will be collecting “Valor Points,” while trying to avoid the sabotage attempts from their fellow players and the game’s obstacles.
The game is designed by Gwen Ruelle and Sam Bryant. It also features original artwork from the film and its development by Terry Gilliam as well as Monty Python and the Holy Grail stills. Wooden meeples and point markers are included, plus a buildable catapult, and quest cards, alongside the 20 by 20 inches folding game board. It is recommended for players 14 years of age or older.
