Hi everyone, I was just wondering if there is a section on the site devoted specifically to the explanation of rules for this game. For example, I want to know what the Joust keyword is before I order something from the A Tale of Champions set.

If not, can someone enlighten me on this? Thank you!

You can find almost all the rules you're looking for here

However, the "Joust" and "Melee" keywords happen to be the exception - the rules are detailed once in a news post, and available in an insert contained within all the new "Tales of Champion" chapter packs. I expect they'll be posted on that site in the not-very distant future, but for now I'll copy them word-for-word for you.

Joust: While a character with the joust keyword is attacking alone, the defending opponent cannot declare more than 1 character as a defender.
Melee: While a character with the melee keyword is participating in a a challenge, it gets +1 STR for each participating character controlled by an opponent.

I thought Melee worked only for attacking characters (at least that's what my inserts say).

Thanks, I had already looked around but found no mention of those two specific rules. Thank you very much, this was actually just what I needed.

Then it seems we have a translation problem (I bought the French version and translated it - it clearly refers to attacking characters only). Now I can't wait for the online version.
