Description Edit | History

Belongs to the Runebound Series.

From the Fantasy Flight Games Website:
"The dark lords are gathering, ancient powers are awakening, and a chill has fallen across the land. It is a time of danger and rising evil. It is a time of fear for the weak and powerless. It is a time of heroes willing to face the darkness and bring the light of hope to a realm covered in shadow.

In Runebound, you and your friends play heroes in a fantasy realm full of monsters, perils, and treasure. The realm is yours to explore as you wish: Visit the Mountains of Despair, brave the Whispering Forest, or shop for magic items in the Paradash Bazaar. Wherever you go, adventure awaits you - and because the game changes each time you play it, you'll never have the same adventure twice."

One expansion was created for Runebound (First Edition), called Runebound - Shadows of Margath (First Edition).

In response to customer feedback, Fantasy Flight Games later released the updated and improved Runebound Second Edition. The second edition contained the following changes:

  • The single 20-sided die was replaced with two 10-sided dice to introduce a bell-curve and help make more predictable.
  • Statistics for some heroes/challenges/items were adjusted to improve play-balance and to make the game more difficult.
  • All heroes start in the center of the board to prevent the first player from having a distinct advantage.
  • Encounters were removed from city spaces.
  • Plastic (unpainted) minis were included for heroes, instead of the original cardboard stand-ups.
