About the game
What you do in a play session
In Bastion Run, you step into the shoes of two daring rogues trapped in a dark, damp dungeon. The goal is to escape, but it’s not a walk in the park: every move can trigger guard reactions based on dice rolls, and any noise may attract their attention. To stay stealthy, players must move the characters tile by tile, following the order dictated by the dice they pick from a pool. The dice come in three colors—light, gray, and dark—and can be combined to add or subtract, giving more movement options. Along the way, heroes can pick up stinky toads to restore stealth or salty mushrooms to buy ability cards that grant useful bonuses. And don’t forget the boar, also obsessed with mushrooms, who scours the dungeon, creating a playful race between the players and the beast. Bastion Run works for two cooperative players or in solo mode, where a single player controls both characters in turn. The game lasts 20 to 90 minutes, depending on the desired challenge, and is perfect for fans of strategy, dice‑rolling, and a fantasy adventure twist.
