Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Rise of the Runelords – Base Set

Description

--- Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Rise of the Runelords—Base Set is a cooperative, expandable card game for 1-4 players battling Varisia's evils through deck-building and villain defeats. Key mechanics include: - *Cooperative gameplay* 1-4 players (up to 6 with add-on) as fantasy heroes like rogues or wizards fight traps, monsters, and foes from the Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path. - *Deck-building and progression* Players start with decks representing skills, acquire allies, spells, weapons, items; characters grow stronger across scenarios by adding cards and powers. - *Dice-based ability resolution* Classic scores (Strength, Dexterity, etc.) use varying dice sizes for checks. - *Scenario structure* Defeat villain's deck of challenges within turn limits; base set has nearly 500 cards. - *Expandability* 110-card Character Add-On Deck for more players/options; bimonthly 110-card adventure decks. - *Errata note* Early "Sihedron Medallion" mislabeled as "B" instead of "1" (Burnt Offerings). The Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Rise of the Runelords—Base Set launches a complete cooperative strategy card campaign against evils stirring in Varisia—dark magic, giant armies, cultists, and goblin plots threatening Sandpoint. Players embody fantasy heroes with decks embodying skills and proficiencies, using dice-assigned ability scores to navigate scenarios. Objectives center on overcoming traps, monsters, deadly magic, and despicable foes to locate and defeat villains represented by dedicated challenge decks before turn limits expire. Heroes acquire allies, spells, weapons, and items, evolving stronger post-game by integrating gear, magic, and powers for escalating threats in the full Adventure Path. The base set's nearly 500 cards support 1-4 players, expandable to 5-6 via a 110-card Character Add-On Deck and future bimonthly 110-card adventure decks; early printings include errata for the "Sihedron Medallion" Loot card. ---
