    A forgotten evil stirs in the ancient land of Varisia. Dark magic once more thrums amid crumbling ruins, giants gather in titanic armies, cultists murder in the name of foul deities, and maniacal goblins plot a fiery end for the peaceful town of Sandpoint.

    Launch a campaign to strike back against the evils plaguing Varisia with the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Rise of the Runelords - Base Set. This complete cooperative strategy card game pits 1 to 4 heroes against the traps, monsters, deadly magic, and despicable foes of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game's award-winning Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path. In this game players take the part of a fantasy character such as a rogue or wizard, each with varying skills and proficiencies that are represented by the cards in their deck. The classic ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, etc.) are assigned with different sized dice. Players can acquire allies, spells, weapons, and other items. The goal is to find and defeat a villain before a certain number of turns pass, with the villain being represented by its own deck of cards complete with challenges and foes that must be overcome. Characters grow stronger after each game, adding unique gear and awesome magic to their decks, and gaining incredible powers, all of which they'll need to challenge greater threats in a complete Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Adventure Path.

    The Pathfinder Adventure Card Game is an expandable game, with the first set containing nearly 500 cards. The Rise of the Runelords - Base Set supports 1 to 4 players; a 110-card Character Add-On Deck expands the possible number of players to 5 or 6 and adds more character options for any number of players. The game will be expanded with bimonthly 110-card adventure decks.

    Okay

    It's an okay game, but I felt a bit repetitive after 5 plays.

    Somewhat great game

    Pros: The characters are unique, and play differently
    The mechanisms are simple to understand, the game is very accessible
    The art is fantastic
    While the majority of the missions are similar, there are some really neat scenarios

    Cons: The game can feel samey after a while
    The rulebook is not written very well, clarifications from BGG were necessary for our first few plays
    Shuffling all those decks each game can get annoying

    How does it play with 2: When I played it with two people, I ended up using two characters, and my friend one. We felt like two characters didn't give us enough different abilities to be competitive, so we added the third character to give us some attack value, in addition to our two magic users. Worth playing though, I quite like this one.
