Board Game - Runebound. Third Edition

You and your friends will transform into true heroes in a fantasy world full of monsters, dangers, and treasures. Travel wherever you want: visit the Mountains of Despair, dare to venture into the Whispering Forest, or head to the magical... items store at the distant bazaar. Wherever you go, an adventure is already waiting for you – and as the game will be different each time, you can expect many unique adventures!
The board game Runebound is a fantasy adventure board game for 2-4 players, who can embark on a fairy-tale world full of dangers and adventures. Travel along the currents of raging rivers, explore dark and mysterious forests, and fight all kinds of monsters that dare to interfere with your quest! Experienced allies and enchanted artifacts will assist you in your trials. You will encounter cunning villains and find yourself in deadly danger more than once. Strive to overcome all obstacles on your path to your goal with honor!
Each player starts in one of the cities and sets off on his journey lightly armed. For defeating monsters of varying difficulty, you will receive rewards and invaluable experience, which you can use to develop your own hero. You will have to travel across several types of terrain, sometimes impassable. The trophies obtained can be profitably exchanged in cities for companions and useful items, but you still have to reach the city... In addition, you can take quests, and everyone knows that true heroes don’t work for free! Traveling in this way throughout the world, learning new skills, and becoming stronger, you must move closer to the main goal of your adventure.
The world will surprise you with its diversity and interaction with players, and the game – with its elaboration and depth.
How to play?
On their turn, each player has three action points, which they can spend at their discretion. They can be spent on one action multiple times or on different actions. The list of actions is as follows:

Movement – you can either move your hero to a neighboring area or roll the adventure dice, and the higher your movement speed, the more dice you can roll. The dice will indicate the types of terrain you can overcome during this turn. Any results are suitable for entering a city or crossing a bridge
Trade – available only in cities. A very important part of the game, as it is known that the better equipped a hero is, the more effective they are at defeating evil. Allows you to acquire various items as well as sell your unnecessary belongings. There are five equipment types, and you can have only one card of each type: weapon, clothing, equipment, movement, goods
Adventure – when near an adventure token, you can spend two action points to embark on an adventure of one of three types: combat, exploration, encounter. In any of them, valuable rewards and interesting meetings await you
Rest – allows you to heal wounds. In a city, settlement, sanctuary, or fortress – up to the maximum value. If you are in the wilderness, you will have to pass a check. Roll 5 dice and heal one wound for each result that matches the type of terrain you are resting on
Training – allows you to draw skill cards, discard unnecessary ones, and keep the most useful ones. This action is useful not only for drawing cards up to your limit but also simply to familiarize yourself with new cards and prepare for adventures

Sometimes heroes will also spend action points on research to complete a quest.
Who won?
The objective of the game depends on the chosen scenario. The base game offers two scenarios in which you need to defeat the main villain faster than your opponents. For example, in "The Ascent of Margat" you will collect knowledge tokens (story tokens) to weaken Margat. The player who defeats Margat wins the game, but if no one manages to stop the dragon before it destroys Tamalir, all players lose!
