Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon · Board game rules

No connection locations for fore-dweller to move closer to us

Summary of Answer:

Fore-dwellers are lore elements from the game's backstory (mentioned on Page 4) and are not a special location type with unique movement rules. Movement between locations follows standard Travel rules for all Location cards, which require Direction Keys to be connected and locations to be within Menhir range.

Travel Rules (Page 8: Travel)

When traveling between locations, you must move your Character model to any Location card connected to your current one using Direction Keys. If two Location cards are placed next to each other but there are no Direction Keys connecting them, you cannot Travel from one to the other (usually due to mountain ranges, walls, wide rivers, and other natural features). Travel costs 1 Energy and must follow straight lines only - no diagonal Travel is allowed.

Location Connections (Page 10-11: Locations & Direction Keys)

Location cards connect when their Direction Keys match (numbers on the edges of Location cards indicate neighboring locations). When you arrive in a new Location, you reveal further Location cards that match the Direction Keys on your current Location, but they must be within 1 Location card (including diagonally) from an Active Menhir. If a Location card with a number indicated by the Direction Key is no longer available in the game, check the Legacy Location number instead (Page 11: Legacy Location Numbers).

Fore-dwellers in the Game (Page 4: Story)

Fore-dwellers are mentioned in the game's lore as the former masters of Avalon who built the menhirs, but there is no special movement mechanic for reaching "fore-dweller" locations. Any location you want to reach must follow the standard connection rules above. If you cannot find connecting locations, check if:

  1. Your current location has Direction Keys on its edges
  2. The target location is within Menhir range (1 card away from an Active Menhir)
  3. You're looking for the correct Location Number or Legacy Location Number

If you're unable to connect to locations you want to visit, try activating Menhirs to extend your Menhir range, which will allow more location cards to be revealed and connected on the board.
