From BoardGameGeek
BloodRunes is a game of Strategy and Chance. Collect Runes in your hand to cast your spells and gain Blood Fortunes. Steal from other Casters or cast Protection Wards to defend against attack. All Players share the same board and must cast Runes that benefit themselves without helping their opponents. Keep a close eye on other Casters' spells to determine their strategies, while bringing your own plans to fruition. Use your Acolytes to do your bidding and win the game. Or scheme with other Casters to target a particular enemy. CAUTION: BloodRunes will start fights and break up marriages. Play with caution. BloodRunes is a 2 to 4 player game and takes about an hour to play. Great for a mind-bending afternoon of gaming. -description from the publisher
