What is Table of Tales: The Crooked Crown?
Lead a party of four scoundrels through a sea-faring role-playing adventure presented around a magical tabletop.
A voiced mechanical bird named Arbitrix acts as Dungeon Master during a narrative campaign shaped by major choices. Encounters can be resolved through combat, charm, or stealth, with more than 24 situations to navigate. Turn-based tactical play combines dice, cards, skill checks, and more than 40 enemy types. Each scoundrel has an individual path for skills and statistics, with abilities selected during each playthrough.
