Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Rise of the Runelords – Base Set

About this board game

Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Rise of the Runelords – Base Set is a cooperative strategy card game for 1–4 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes. Players become fantasy heroes and work together to confront the monsters, traps, magic, and villains threatening the land of Varisia.

A forgotten evil is stirring across the region. Giants gather armies, cultists serve foul deities, and goblins plot destruction for the peaceful town of Sandpoint. Each hero has different skills and proficiencies, represented by the cards in their personal deck and classic ability scores assigned with different-sized dice.

During the adventure, players can acquire allies, spells, weapons, and other items to improve their characters. The objective is to locate and defeat a villain before a set number of turns has passed. The villain is represented by a dedicated deck containing challenges and foes that heroes must overcome.

• Cooperative fantasy adventure for 1–4 players
• Nearly 500 cards in the base set
• Character growth through new gear, magic, and powers
• Adventure Path play featuring escalating threats

Characters grow stronger after each game, adding new cards and gaining abilities they will need to face increasingly dangerous enemies. This campaign structure lets the party develop over a complete Pathfinder Adventure Game Adventure Path.

The Pathfinder Adventure Card Game is expandable. A 110-card Character Add-On Deck increases the player count to 5 or 6 and adds character options for any group size, while additional 110-card adventure decks expand the campaign. The Rise of the Runelords – Base Set offers a complete cooperative adventure centered on teamwork, exploration, and deck development.
