Runar – A Norse Mythology Tactical Skirmish Board Game
Step into the frozen realms of ancient Norse mythology in Runar, a stunning tactical skirmish board game from Ludus Magnus Studio. Designed for 2–4 players, Runar blends immersive lore, strategic combat, and rich character progression into a deeply thematic experience that will appeal to both competitive and narrative-driven gamers. Every session transports you to a world where gods and mortals clash in a desperate struggle for survival, glory, and power.
Game Overview
In Runar, players assume the roles of powerful heroes and cunning leaders who must guide their clans through the unforgiving winter of the North. Each decision you make carries weight: assemble your warriors, harness the mystical power of runes, and navigate treacherous terrain as you battle rival factions and mythic creatures. Every skirmish feels cinematic, with shifting alliances and tactical depth that make each playthrough unique.
At its core, Runar combines miniature-based combat with a strong narrative arc. The branching campaign system ensures that no two stories are ever the same, while skirmish modes allow for quick, head-to-head battles full of tactical choices. Whether you’re playing through the epic saga or facing off in one-shot scenarios, Runar offers a balance of strategy, resource management, and high-stakes combat.
