About the game

What is Squire for Hire: Mystic Runes?

Squire for Hire: Mystic Runes is a standalone expansion for Squire for Hire that sees your squire assist on quests through treacherous mountains, in hopes of finding the fabled mystic runes. Continue to efficiently pack, optimize your bag space, reduce junk, and collect the most valuable bag for the adventurer you serve. Discovering Runes will allow you to manipulate cards in order to ensure a high scoring bag. Mystic Runes is an 18-card, tile-laying inventory management game for 1-2 players that takes about 15-20 min to play and can either be played by itself for a 1-2 player adventure, or combined with the Squire for Hire base game for a 1-4 player experience! —description from the publisher
