	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.

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"

Market Step Variant Version 2

This is a newer version of the original Market Step Variant I made, after some more expansion releases brought more market cards to the game it made it necessary to split the deck into a few more traders stacks and this version adds 3 more traders into the game.

Hero Death and Resurrection Shrines

The variant adds a twist to the original rules concerning death and being knocked out. The file contains counters and a special death box to print off and construct.

Market Step Variant

This is the first market step variant created by Martin Knight for the Runebound game. It splits the ever growing market deck into smaller decks, complete with rules and a mat to keep your decks separate.

This is the original Market Step Variation for the Runebound game, by Martin Knight. First available on the website www.martsville.co.uk. It separates the ever growing market stack into smaller and more manageable size decks. The file has the rules and a special mat to print of.

Runebound variant for Settements of Adventure

Good day! This is my solo Runebound variant. You will see that I go on a different path than others.

Settlements of Adventure

Good day! This is based on Judd's template of cities of adventures. The concept is having other places to visit. Be sure to check my variant to understand things a bit more. If you see any mistakes, let me know, my native tongue is French. Thanks Judd for everything!
