The details
For Olwen's Hand draws on Culhwch and Olwen, a Welsh Arthurian tale, and lets players choose which knight embarks on the journey. Players face Ysbaddaden, the legendary boar Twrch Trwyth, and other mythical threats while deciding how to approach each challenge and how the story unfolds.
Timeline

Culture Shift
The expansion draws its narrative from the medieval Welsh tale Culhwch and Olwen rather than the more familiar Arthurian canon. That places it alongside a broader movement of game designers mining regional mythologies for original board game content.
Owners of Legends of the Round Table can add the expansion at no cost when it launches on Steam on December 10. The new content is roughly five hours long and adds combat mechanics that players can use to shape how each challenge unfolds.
The takeaway
Owners of Legends of the Round Table can plan to play the free expansion when it arrives on December 10, since it offers about five hours of new story and combat content. Choosing which knight takes on the quest adds a replay element to the core game.
