Runebound (Third Edition): Caught in a Web – Scenario Pack

About this expansion

Runebound (Third Edition): Caught in a Web – Scenario Pack is a 2016 expansion for 2–4 players, with an approximate play time of 180 minutes. It introduces an entirely new scenario in which the sorceress Ariad sends spider-like minions across Terrinoth.

During the scenario, story cards and adventure cards place webs across the map. These webs restrict the heroes’ movement, though they can be destroyed if the heroes are willing to expend the effort. The spreading webs create a growing threat as the heroes attempt to protect the realm.

At the end of the first act, Ariad transforms into her spider form and begins moving around Terrinoth. If she places a web in each of the four major cities, every hero loses the game. Victory is possible only by tracking down Ariad and defeating her in battle before another hero reaches her.

• Explore a scenario shaped by spreading webs and dangerous adventure cards.
• Confront new and hideous monsters, including the web-spinning Arachyura.
• Face lingering danger from venom and other terrifying perils.
• Track a spider nest to the Smokeblue Hills or descend into tunnels beneath Terrinoth.
• Add Jonas the Kind, a new hero with unexpected skills learned from a life of crime.

The Arachyura can trap heroes in its webs and deal lingering damage even after it has been defeated. Meanwhile, Jonas the Kind turns his unusual talents toward defending the innocent from monsters.

With its escalating map threat, dramatic transformation, and decisive hunt for Ariad, Caught in a Web gives Runebound a focused scenario about movement, pursuit, and survival.
