Runebound: Second Edition

Players take on the roles of heroes roaming the land of Terrinoth, gaining experience, gear and allies by resolving encounters from a sequence of Adventure Decks. Gameplay alternates exploration and challenge: movement uses terrain dice to navigate hexes, encounters present events and monsters, and combat resolves in three phases — Ranged, Melee and Magic — with characters able to specialize in particular disciplines. Victory goes to the first hero who levels up and equips themselves well enough to defeat the final adversary, making the game a paced race. The title supports solo play and is expandable with adventure packs and larger map overlays.
