	Description Edit \| History

Runewars is an epic board game of conquest, adventure, and fantasy empires for two to four players. Runewars pits players against each other in a strategic game of battles and area control, where they must gather resources, raise armies, and lay siege to heavily fortified cities.

Runewars takes place in the same popular fantasy universe as the board games Runebound and Descent Journeys in the Dark, and dozens of fan-favorite heroes and monsters play their part. The wars for the dragon runes are beginning, and only one faction will emerge victorious.

Runewars includes:

40-page instruction guide
Nearly two hundred highly-detailed plastic miniatures
Over two hundred tokens
Over two hundred cards, both small and standard sized
13 map tiles

Reimplements:

Battlemist

Expanded by:

Banners of War (Q4 2011)

Chaos Place Mat for Banners of War

The placement map measures 11 inches by 17 inches with a 1/4 inch margin around the edge. To save on some space, I had some of the hero/rewards cards overlap. There are two places for development cards, one for unused cards on the bottom center, and four on the right for developments in play. If you managed to get more than four developments (or more than three title cards) then I authorize you to go to your local sticker store, buy some gold stars, and stick it to yourself on the center of your forehead. Critiques, good or bad, are welcome.
