A forgotten evil stirs in the ancient land of Varisia. Dark magic once more thrums amid crumbling ruins, giants gather in titanic armies, cultists murder in the name of foul deities, and maniacal goblins plot a fiery end for the peaceful town of Sandpoint.
Launch a campaign to strike back against the evils plaguing Varisia with the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Rise of the Runelords - Base Set. This complete cooperative strategy card game pits 1 to 4 heroes against the traps, monsters, deadly magic, and despicable foes of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game's award-winning Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path. In this game players take the part of a fantasy character such as a rogue or wizard, each with varying skills and proficiencies that are represented by the cards in their deck. The classic ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, etc.) are assigned with different sized dice. Players can acquire allies, spells, weapons, and other items. The goal is to find and defeat a villain before a certain number of turns pass, with the villain being represented by its own deck of cards complete with challenges and foes that must be overcome. Characters grow stronger after each game, adding unique gear and awesome magic to their decks, and gaining incredible powers, all of which they'll need to challenge greater threats in a complete Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Adventure Path.
The Pathfinder Adventure Card Game is an expandable game, with the first set containing nearly 500 cards. The Rise of the Runelords - Base Set supports 1 to 4 players; a 110-card Character Add-On Deck expands the possible number of players to 5 or 6 and adds more character options for any number of players. The game will be expanded with bimonthly 110-card adventure decks.

I had the pleasure of being able to play this card game at Gencon with one of the early subscribers and it is a TON OF FUN. It is basically a deck building rpg. Now I will start with the fact that this game is not an RPG in the traditional pathfinder/D&D sense. Some of the cards in the game such as the location and scenario cards have some flavor text setting up what your characters are actually doing but it does not feel like you are really engaged in an adventure and also I really wish they put a little flavor text on all of the item and creature cards although the artwork is fantastic. That being said I love the gameplay. You start off with a deck of cards and that deck represents all of your characters spells, abilities, weapons ect, but that deck also represents your life. So if you take damage you are discarding cards and if you run out of cards than your hero dies. This makes for an excellent hand management system. Basic rundown of the game is in each scenario that you are trying to hunt down a big boss man at these different locations and each location is represented by a deck of cards. On your turn you will flip over the top card at your location and interact with it. The card will either be something bad like a monster or a barrier in which you will have to defeat it or something good like a weapon or item which you can try to acquire and add to your hand. Both of these actions are usually done by passing a stat check which involves you looking at your hero card and rolling an X sided dice based on your hero's stats. And the heros you get to pick feel really unique. Not only does each hero start off with two unique abilities (which can really make a huge difference), but they have different stats which will affect what how easily you can deal with cards at each location.
I got my pre-order of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game just in time for the weekend. Some friends and I gave it a try, and we couldn't put it down. I consider this a board game, although it is technically a card game. Cards are used to construct the play area and to randomize how each game will play out. This adds a great deal of replay value.
We were all amazed at the game mechanics; the concept is extremely creative. It plays much like Pathfinder in that each player selects a character and goes on adventures fighting foes, gaining allies, and collecting treasure. What really amazed us is they managed to capture the feel of your character progressing and getting more powerful. Each character is represented by 15 cards. You build your character out of basic cards that you can replace and improve as you adventure. After you complete the basic scenario, you add cards for the first Rise of the Runelords scenario. These cards are a little better or more challenging. Later in the game, there are rules to remove less challenging cards from the card pool. This is done as they are encountered to phase them out over time and to keep the difficulty ramping up.
Each character plays very differently, but we found them to be well balanced. We played with 4 players, and we did not have the character expansion pack. Because a character is represented by 15 cards, you need to put those cards back into the card pool when you are not playing a character. Otherwise there is a shortage of cards to draw from. Paizo has free downloadable character sheets to track character progress and the contents of each character deck.
Games take about 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours to play. We got faster as we got to know the rules. I describe this as a complex game.
