About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for another adventure in Terrinoth with the "Caught in a Web" scenario pack for Runebound (Third Edition)! This time, the sorceress Ariad is back with a sinister plan: to spread her arachnid webs throughout the realm. These webs not only hinder the heroes' movement but also serve as a grim warning of Ariad's growing power. To win, you must outsmart the sorceress and her minions. Time is of the essence, as Ariad transforms into a monstrous spider form and begins hunting the heroes. If she manages to cover the four main cities with her webs, all players lose! The only way out is to find and defeat Ariad in combat before she completes her dark plan, or before another hero gets there first. Along the way, you'll face terrifying new monsters, like the Arachyura, which can trap you in its sticky webs, and uncover dark secrets in locations like the Smokeblue Hills. Fortunately, a new hero joins the fight: Jonas the Kind, whose underworld skills are now used to protect the innocent. This pack adds a new and challenging scenario, maintaining the essence of exploration, combat, and deck building that Runebound fans love. Prepare for a race against time and against Ariad herself!
