About this expansion

Runebound: The Cataclysm is a card expansion for Runebound, Second Edition for 2–6 players, with an approximately 120-minute play time. It introduces the Curse of the Cataclysm adventure variant, offering a new way to experience the Runebound setting.

On the night of the cataclysm, a star fell from the sky and shattered the land. Many free towns were destroyed, while those that remained were afflicted by terrible curses. Now, only courageous and clever heroes can confront the dangers that have taken hold.

In addition to normal adventuring, players must face the obstacles and threats within the cursed towns. Beasts, spells, and other afflictions stand between the heroes and the towns’ salvation, turning each visit into a vital challenge.

  • Introduces the Curse of the Cataclysm adventure variant
  • Expands Runebound: Second Edition
  • Challenges heroes to overcome cursed towns and special quests
  • Creates an entirely new game experience by replacing some elements of the Rise of the Dragon Lords adventure

Heroes who overcome these dangers and successfully return from special quests may become the saviors of the remaining free towns. Their efforts can allow the towns to rebuild after the devastation.

Rather than simply adding to the standard adventure, Runebound: The Cataclysm changes part of the base game’s Rise of the Dragon Lords scenario. It brings a distinct adventure framework centered on cursed settlements, perilous challenges, and the possibility of restoring hope to a broken land.
