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

0 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.

This is a list of all of the Fantasy Flight Games official Terrinoth Characters and from which expansions they are obtained. There is a great deal of crossover between all of the Terrinoth games. Runebound, Descent, and Runewars have the same 12 starting characters except Descent which also includes the 8 characters from Island of Dread. All of the Descent characters are present in Runebound expcept those from Well of Darkness. All of the Runebound characters are present in Descent except those from Midnight and the most recent release, Mists of Zanga. Dungeonquest says on the box it's a game set in the Runebound Universe. The Dungeonquest game contains 6 characters with cards for Runebound, Descent and Runewars.
