Minion of Mordred in Avalon: Rules & Strategy

Abilities at a glance

Team and objective

Evil. The ordinary Minion is a Minion of Mordred, not the special Mordred role.

Ability and information

At setup, a Minion knows the participating evil allies except Oberon and Wraith. They can choose Success or Fail when sent on a mission.

Important limits

Does Merlin see a Minion of Mordred? Yes. Being Mordred’s minion does not grant Mordred’s protection from Merlin. Playing Success does not turn a Minion good.

Practical situations

• If another evil player joins your mission, consider that two Fails may expose multiple evil participants. Account for roles that are forced to fail.
• A Success may help you gain trust for a later mission. It is a strategic choice, not proof of good allegiance.

Strategic Tips:

• Discreet Collaboration: If another evil player joins your mission, consider that two Fails may expose multiple evil participants. Account for roles that are forced to fail.
• Deception: Perfect the art of deception. Blending in as one of the 'Good' can help you influence their decisions and protect your identity.
• Public Demeanor: Be mindful of your public actions and words. Try to avoid suspicion by not being too defensive or too aggressive.
