Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Do I need the base game Runebound (Third Edition) to play this expansion?
Absolutely! 'The Mountains Rise' is an adventure pack, so it adds content to the base game. You can't play it without the base game.
Does this expansion change the game's rules significantly?
No, it focuses on adding more cards (adventure, asset, skill) and a new hero. The core mechanics of the base game remain the same, but with more options and challenges.
What's different about the new hero, Nanok of the Blade?
Nanok is a warrior who enjoys fighting without armor. He offers a different playstyle, focused on direct combat and adrenaline, without extra protection.
Do the new combat cards with symbols make the game harder?
They add more complexity and variety to battles. They might force you to think about new strategies, but they also open up new possibilities for victory!
Does the game get much longer with this expansion?
The expansion adds more content and options, which might slightly extend the playtime, especially if you explore all the new elements. However, the base playtime of 120-180 minutes still applies.
Is it necessary to translate everything to play?
Yes, Ludopedia indicates extensive language dependency. It's highly recommended to have the cards translated or use a reference guide to fully enjoy the game.
