Board Game Reviews

Runewars has become my favorite game of all. I don’t agree with the others about the role of the Heroes. With a good strategy, they are one of the best ways to get the runes. If you play the game with the Exploration Tokens, the Heroes become even more important to victory.
All races are well balanced, I’ve already won with all of them. I love the way how each one works differently and thematically. The Elves tend to rely on influence, the Uthuk trust on their firepower, and so on.
The interaction is great. You have to pay attention to every move your opponents are doing, in order to figure out what are going to be your moves. There are opportunities to make alliances with other players, define agreements during the bid phases, bargain and even bluff.
In order to win the game, you have to know all the weaknesses and powers of your race, and know how all the different cards can work in your favor. A good mix of battles and diplomacy usually is the best way to vitory.
The game is best played with 3 or 4 people. If you played this game with only one person, please try again with more friends. Satisfaction guaranteed.
Thank you again for the great review of one of the best games around! I can hardly wait for the first expansion.

Thank you for this review! Now I know I MUST buy this one.
