Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Rise of the Runelords – Base Set

A cooperative campaign card game set in the fantasy region of Varisia where a rising evil threatens towns, ruins, and the countryside. Players each control a hero archetype (rogue, wizard, etc.) whose skills and ability scores are represented by cards and differently sized dice. Over linked scenarios players acquire allies, spells, weapons, and items, face traps and monsters drawn from a villain deck, and attempt to defeat a chief antagonist before the campaign timer runs out. Characters persist and level up between sessions by adding new cards and powers to their decks, and the base box serves as the first expandable installment of an Adventure Path with additional character and adventure decks available.
