Take a leap and a bound into Runebound

This is my oldest son's favorite game and has been for the last 3 years. He is going to be coming back from school next week for Spring Break and has specifically asked that this game be ready for some play time. If you are a fan of fantasy, then this is the game for you!

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.

The world of Runebound is a magical, dangerous world of powerful wizards, noble knights, vicious monsters, and power-mad tyrants. It is a world of great quests and mighty deeds. Above all, it is a world of legendary heroes, and the time has come for you to join them"

Despite selling well, Runebound (First Edition) received criticism that forced Fantasy Flight Games to rework several basic concepts and adjust the game balance. First released in 2004, Runebound was quickly updated and re-released as Runebound Second Edition just over one year later. Customers who had purchased the original game were given a limited-time offer to upgrade at half the normal cost via the Fantasy Flight Games website.

Since it's updated release, the game has taken the industry by storm and become a popular favorite among fantasy gamers and has been consistently ranked in the top 200 games on Board Game Geek. It's ability to play with two or several people really allows this game to be played with a variety of groups, and it's solo play ability makes this a good game to play it you can't seen to find a group!

In addition, it is easily one of the most expanded games of all time, with 4 big box expansions and 25 (or more) deck expansions which change the games plots, add characters and items and much more!

Looking for a new fantasy game to play? Try Runebound! (Note: If you decide to purchase this on ebay, be sure you are purchasing the 2nd edition... if you are not sure, the second edition had plastic minis and the first edition just used cardboard tokens for the characters).
