About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! If you're into expanding your gaming universes, Jonas the Kind is one of those extras that makes a real difference. This miniature doesn't come alone, oh no! It includes three stat cards, each designed for one of the big hitters: Descent: Journeys in the Dark, Runebound: Second Edition, and Runewars. So, depending on your favorite FFG game, you've got Jonas ready to jump into the action.

This figure is one of those expansions you acquire separately, you know? And for those who were already in the loop, it was included in some French editions of Descent: The Road to Legend. The cards come in multiple languages – English, French, German, and Spanish – so you can play with friends from different backgrounds. The card for Runewars, for instance, was distributed at special events back in 2010, showing this little guy has a history.

Jonas the Kind fits perfectly into game families like Descent, Runebound, and Runewars, and is also part of the broader 'The Realms of Terrinoth' setting. It adds another character option for those seeking variety and wanting to spice up their adventures. If you're already a fan of these games and want more hero or villain options for your campaigns, this miniature is a cool addition. Think of it as that secret character you unlock to make everything more interesting. It's a piece that adds value for collectors and players who like to have all the options at hand for their tabletop RPG sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Does the Jonas the Kind miniature work on its own or does it require a base game?
Jonas the Kind is an expansion. You need to own one of the compatible base games (Descent, Runebound, or Runewars) to use his card and miniature.
How many players can use Jonas the Kind?
The number of players depends on the base game you are using. Jonas the Kind himself is an additional character, not a multiplayer game.
Do the Jonas the Kind cards come in English?
The cards included with Jonas the Kind were released in English, French, German, and Spanish. There isn't an official Portuguese version.
What is the game time with this expansion?
The game time is not altered by the addition of Jonas the Kind. It remains the same as the base game you are playing.
Is it difficult to find this miniature?
As it's a promotional item and an expansion released some time ago, it might be a bit harder to find in regular stores. Used marketplaces or collector's circles might be the best bet.
Is it worth buying just for the miniature?
If you're a collector or a fan of the Terrinoth universe, the miniature might be worth it. For gameplay, its value lies in adding another character option to your base games.
