Watch “Camelot! A successful strategy game for decades, now all but forgotten.,” a how-to-play guide for Camelot from NewVenture Games on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by NewVenture Games on YouTube:

Brought to market in 1930, this was actually a second-generation of an earlier game called Chivalry. Called one of the greatest strategy games of all time, it not only faded from public favor, even it's 1980s come-back didn't last long. Each player is on a field of squares with foot-soldiers and knights, each with their own move-and-capture capabilities. But capturing is but the means to the players' objectives. They are striving to occupy the opponent's two castle squares to win the game. It is a good game, and lasted decades as the strategy-game star of the Parker Brothers catalog. There are still fans of the game today. "There's never been a better place for happy-ever-aftering than here in Camelot!" (from the Broadway musical by Lerner and Leowe).

About Camelot, from BoardGameGeek:

Chivalry was first self-published by George S. Parker in 1888 and he called it his favorite game. In 1930 it was scaled down, re-named Camelot and published by Parker's company, Parker Brothers. Minor rules changes were implemented in 1931. The object is simple: move two pieces into your opponent's goal or eliminate all of your opponent's pieces. In a matter of minutes, you'll learn the moves. The Jump. The Capture. And the Power Play. The rest is up to you. Make your moves courageously or cautiously. But always be on guard. One move can quickly change the entire complexion of the game. Current World Camelot Federation rules of Camelot define one of the objects of the game as capturing ALL of the opponent's pieces while retaining two or more of your own.
