Description

In the Runebeasts Deck-Building Game, get ready to embark on a thrilling adventure to become the ultimate beast-tetherer. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, 2 to 4 players can dive into this exciting game, which typically lasts between 45 to 60 minutes. Designed by Reed Mascola and published in 2025, Runebeasts offers a fresh twist on classic deck-builders, where each player starts with an asymmetric deck full of unique beasts. As you play, you'll have the opportunity to evolve your beasts, making them stronger and more powerful, and even try to catch the coveted legendary runebeasts. As you navigate the game, you'll use your beasts to fight, collect gems and bonuses, and power up your deck. With 10 different beast types to choose from, each providing distinct benefits, you can customize your deck to fit your playstyle. Will you take a risk and roll the dice to try and catch legendary beasts, or play it safe and focus on building a strong foundation? As the game heats up, you'll engage in showdowns with your opponents, programming your beasts and earning points for every battle won. The goal is to earn 10 points and emerge victorious, making Runebeasts a game of strategy, skill, and a little bit of luck.
