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! ## FAQ ### Is this a standalone game or an expansion? This is a scenario pack, meaning it's an expansion. You need the Runebound (Third Edition) base game to play. ### How many players can participate? The "Caught in a Web" scenario pack is for 2 to 4 players, just like the base game. ### What is the estimated playtime? The estimated playtime for this scenario is 120 to 180 minutes, depending on the number of players and familiarity with the rules. ### Is the game in English? Yes, this is an imported product and has high language dependency, requiring translation for comfortable play. ### What is the complexity level? The complexity is considered medium (BGG weight 3/5), but the scenario's urgency can add an extra layer of challenge. ### What does this pack add to the base game? It introduces a completely new scenario with specific objectives, the villain Ariad in spider form, new web mechanics on the map, new monsters, and a new playable hero, Jonas. ### Can this scenario be played solo? While the Runebound base game has a solo mode, this scenario pack focuses on a competitive or cooperative experience among heroes against the threat of Ariad. ## Price Comparison ### Best International Offers - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 179.99 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=4862285&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - See all on BoardGamePrices: https://boardgameprices.com/item/show/18436/runebound-third-edition-caught-in-a-web-scenario-pack?utm_source=boardgamesbot.com
