Las Vegas, Nevada; Paris, France - April 21, 2008. Days of Wonder, the publisher of top-quality board and card games, is announcing the upcoming release of Merlin's Company™ a new expansion to the award-winning Shadows over Camelot™ board game.
Merlin's Company introduces a host of new characters, including 7 new knights and Merlin himself as a full-blown character represented in the game with his own sculpted figure.

"Merlin's Company creates a new set of challenges for Shadows over Camelot players," said game authors, Bruno Cathala & Serge Laget. "Travels have become more perilous and treason may appear in multiple disguises, but Merlin is now watching over the Knight's shoulders and might yet step in to rescue the kingdom from disaster. Together, these changes give a whole new dimension to adventures inside and around Camelot."
