Rune Age

Rune Age is a deck-building game set in the fantasy realm of Terrinoth, the same world as Runebound, Descent: Journeys in the Dark, Runewars, and DungeonQuest. It's a unique take on the deck-building genre, focusing on scenarios that provide different win conditions and card pools. Each scenario offers a new play environment with thematic challenges, enemies, and events, making each game feel fresh.

The gameplay centers around building your deck of cards, starting with a small assortment and expanding it through strategic card purchases. There are three currencies in the game: Gold, Influence, and Strength, each with its own purpose. While the game has a solid foundation, some reviewers feel that the card pool is limited and that the gameplay can become repetitive.

I personally found the scenarios to be a welcome addition, as they add variety and replayability to the game. The different factions, each with their own unique units and play style, also contribute to the game's depth. However, I agree with some reviewers that the game can feel unbalanced at times, especially in certain scenarios.

The game's high production quality, with beautiful artwork and well-made components, is typical of Fantasy Flight Games. While it may not be the most complex or innovative deck-builder out there, it's still a fun and engaging game that offers a solid experience for players of all levels. I would recommend it to fans of deck-building games who are looking for a game with a fantasy theme and multiple play styles.
