## Description
_Rune Master 3_ is a board game with RPG elements. Up to 4 players compete to
reach the final gate, throwing computer dices and fighting monsters. The
encounters and battles are random, and when someone is defeated they are sent
back to the nearest town.
The game is turn-based, each player throw the dice and the computer makes the
calculations necessary and moves the figure on the board. While traveling, the
players might encounter wandering warriors and attempt to recruit them.
Successful recruitment increases the player statistics. The players receive
gold or level up after defeating the enemies. The battles also use dice throws
in turns for each adversary. When starting the battle turn, the player has
four options: fight, use an inventory item, use a magic attack or attempt to
escape.
Certain squares have special proprieties:
\- Town squares have hotels to recuperate health and mana points. Shops have
RPG staples like armor, weapons and items. There’s also a monkey pole race,
where the player can gamble up to 1000 gold. Different weapons alter the
number of dices and bonus points used in battle. Armor decreases the number of
hit points received during fights. The items include health potions, horses
that allow faster travel, a book that can be used to set up ambushes for other
players (a dice roll sets the number of hits they’ll receive) and a scroll
that can be used to attempt recruitment of warriors serving under other
players.
\- Squares with chasms can only be escaped if the player throws 6.
\- The water sludge square can only be crossed if the player throws 1 or 6.
\- Some squares transport the player avatar to another part of the board.
