Tellstones: King's Gambit

Deduction and Guessing Games

Tellstones: King's Gambit is a bluffing board game for two to four players, published in 2020 by Riot Games and designed by Chris Cantrell, with artwork by Danny Beck and Grady Frederick. It is presented as a Demacian variant of Tellstones, a game that the setting of the League of Legends video game describes as played throughout Runeterra. The game is a bluffing contest with perfect information, and its central mechanic is memory: players must remember where hidden tokens sit while challenging and deceiving opponents. A session lasts about twenty minutes and the publisher recommends it for ages fourteen and over. Board Game Matcher files it under abstract strategy, bluffing, deduction, fantasy and memory, and its community rating on BoardGameGeek is 2.9 out of 5 from 580 ratings.
