Runebound: The Frozen Wastes

About this expansion

Runebound: The Frozen Wastes is a 2009 expansion for 2–6 players, with an approximately 180-minute play time. It takes heroes north of Terrinoth, across the Sea of White Fangs, into Isheim, the cold and desolate Land of Ice.

After millennia of sleep, the Ancients are beginning to stir. These strange and powerful creatures serve Arshan the Mad, their immortal master, as the Years of the White Death threaten every people who call Isheim home.

To prevent the destruction of the land, a hero must brave the unforgiving frozen realm and stand against Arshan’s woeful and destructive might. The expansion introduces a beautifully rendered board overlay and new rules that represent Isheim’s harsh, ever-changing weather.

• 110 new cards
• Six new Hero figures
• Winter survival gear
• Weather tiles, frost counters, and white death counters
• Icy terrain such as snow drifts and tundra
• New creatures including icewyrms, wendigos, and frost giants

These additions bring the frozen setting to life with new terrain, survival elements, and formidable threats. The weather system and counters reinforce the danger of travelling through Isheim, while the new creatures and heroes expand the adventure’s possibilities.

The Frozen Wastes expands Runebound: Second Edition and requires the Runebound basic game to play. Prepare for a frozen realm where awakened Ancients, vicious icewyrms, menacing wendigos, and formidable frost giants stand between the heroes and Arshan the Mad.
