Fantasy Flight Games will release two new expansions for its Runebound board game: the Caught in a Web scenario pack and The Gilded Blade adventure pack. Both scheduled to release in Q3.

Caught in a Web offers an all-new scenario for the game, in which the evil sorceress Ariad attempts to conquer the fantasy world of Terrinoth with her hordes of arachnid minions.  As a scenario pack, this set includes new story cards and adventure cards to tell a different story than the basic game.  A new “losing condition” is also introduced:  if Ariad can put webs on all four major cities, the players lose.  A new hero, Jonas the Kind, is also included.

The Gilded Blade expansion is designed for use with any Runebound scenario.  This adventure pack introduces new skill sets and assets for characters to seek, as well as adding new adventure cards for new challenges.  A new character, Red Scorpion, also appears.

Each expansion will be sold separately.  MSRP is $19.95 each. A copy of the basic game is needed to use these expansions.

Runebound has been a staple for Fantasy Flight for years.  The third edition of the game was released late last year (see “‘Runebound’ Returns with Re-imagined Third Edition”).
