Runebound 3rd Edition-The Mountains Rise expansion set

A blood-red moon is rising over the fields and forests of Terinnoth. The people hurry about their business, eager to be safe at home before darkness falls each night.

Scouts and explorers bring terrifying tales into the cities and towns where they find rest: the mountains have come alive. Beasts that dwell among them have become bloodthirsty and feral, venturing farther and farther from their lairs in order to search for their next unfortunate meal. 

Monstrous howls fill the air in the valleys as brave heroes venture into the hills and mountains to protect their people. Only the most stalwart will return to tell the tale.  



The Mountains Rise expansion symbol


The Mountains Rise is the fourth expansion for the Runebound 3rd Edition, and the second that is not an adventure. Like other Adventure Packs, The Mountains Rise offers new cards that can be incorporated into any existing scenario to dramatically change the flavor and feel. Fifteen new adventure cards (five per deck) introduce new enemies, events, and quests while twenty new asset cards and ten new skill cards give you dozens of new ways to customize your hero. Many of these new assets come with new combat tokens, some of which introduce new combat symbols to the game—ensuring that your Runebound battles will never be the same. Finally, you’ll gain an entirely new hero—Nanok of the Blade, a warrior who eschews armor in favor of the pure thrill of battle.

 Components

1 Plastic Figure (Nanok of the Blade),




1 Hero Card,





14 Combat Tokens,




15 Adventure Cards
20 Asset Cards 
10 Skill Cards

2. Add the "Song of the Mountains" skill set to the supply of skill cards. This set can be chosen as one of the six skill sets during set up.

3. Add the adventure cards to the supply of non-scenario adventure cards.

4. Add the hero sheet and combat tokens to their supplies.

New Adventure Cards
The expansion includes 5 new non-scenario cards for each adventure pack. When assembling adventure decks during setup, shuffle all non-adventure cards for each type (combat, exploration and social) together and then deal cards out from each of those into decks of 20 non-adventure cards. Then shuffle in the adventure cards associated with the chosen scenario. This will leave 30 cards in each adventure deck.  

Assets and Skill Decks
During setup, players choose three asset sets to form the asset deck for the game. Then, players choose two Body, two Mind, and two Spirit skill sets to form the skill deck for the game. If all players cannot agree on which sets should be chosen, players should instead randomly select the three asset sets, two Body, two Mind, and two Spirit skill sets.

Charge

Charge is a new type of damage that appears on combat tokens. As a combat action, a combatant can spend X Charge  to deal X unblockable damage to his or her foe. During a combat round, after a combatant has spent Charge, that combatant cannot block damage.
