With An Accent has some more detail about the Facebook game by
Bossa Studios, via the company's press release:
Players start the game by creating a character, choosing Merlin or Arthur as role models, or opting to uniquely mix sword and sorcery. Arriving to their new home, Camelot, they fulfill various duties to prepare for the dangerous adventures that lie ahead. The city of legends is not a lonely place however, it is a home that players share with their friends. They can see each other going about their business, chatting or even dancing together.
Ultimately, players have to leave the safety of Camelot to complete quests given by Merlin and Arthur. Players don’t just rely on deft swordsmanship and clever spells to defend themselves, they can bring their friends along for the adventure too!
