Last week’s Runewars Sneak Peek Event was a great success, with dozens of lucky players getting an exciting first glance of FFG’s upcoming epic board game of conquest, adventure, and fantasy empires! Not long after the event, our forums were buzzing with positive feedback for both Runewars and the Fantasy Flight Games Event Center, opening February 20th.
“I really liked the Fate deck combat system. I didn't think I would but once I was into my first battle I really started to dig the cards. [...] Over all great game and I can't wait to play it again. One more thing, the plastic mountains are really sweet. The first thing I did was get down at eye level with the table and looked across the board. The mountains are the cherry on top of this great game.” - Groddzilla
“The biggest impression so far is WOW!, what a lot to do in one game! I see so much depth and strategy waiting to be discovered in this. Your heroes can end up doing lots of neat things besides just going out and finding dragon runes.” - Dicedope
“This game has a great combination of mechanics that seemed to work really well together. They offer a surprising amount of depth and strategy and if you feel like one strategy isn't working [...], you can try using your heroes to go on quests and duel other heroes. When the Elves military might was crushing my Uthuk horde, I struck back by sending my hero to duel with his hero, crushing him in a mighty battle and ruining his plans for that turn. Such fun! [...] There's just so much going on here, it's amazing how well it all flowed together.” - StarkLord
“Thanks for a great time! New facility is quite awesome, and I can't wait to get my grubby paws on Runewars when it comes out. The game's a lot of fun!” - Dave O.
“It was a blast. That's a wonderful area you've got set-up there.” - Steve W.
“I had fun last night, thanks for hosting it.... Fun game, nice space. I hope to see a lot more sneak peeks & events scheduled soon!” - Dave DuJour
Our thanks go out to all the enthusiastic fans who turned out to conquer Terrinoth; you can read the full reviews, and more, on our forums.
But if you weren’t able to make it, fear not! Runewars is in the process of shipping to retailers, and will begin hitting store shelves this week!
Runewars is an epic board game of conquest, adventure, and fantasy empires. Two to four players raise armies, gather resources, and race to collect the elusive and powerful dragon runes in the high-fantasy universe of Runebound.
