Branching narrative, consequence tracking

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a medium-heavy game (weight 7/10). Strategic depth is moderate (6/10) — pleasant to learn, but not infinitely deep. Decisions come at a steady pace (5/10) — engaged without being exhausting. There's meaningful but indirect interaction (interaction 6/10) — shared resources, catch-up effects, or watch-and-react moments. Direct attacks are minimal (0/10) — the friction comes from contention, not aggression.
