RuneScape Kingdoms: Shadow of Elvarg is an original board game title set in the world of RuneScape, bringing the iconic characters, locations, and gameplay of Gielinor to the tabletop.
The creative brief called for a distinctive visual style that would resonate with both Old School RuneScape and RuneScape 3 audiences, blending the identities of both games into a cohesive whole.
Cards, boards, and boss arenas feature bespoke illustrations throughout, capturing the recognisable spirit and atmosphere of the video games while establishing a fresh tabletop identity.
Beyond the core game, RuneScape Kingdoms is supported by a series of expansions that introduce additional regions of Gielinor, extending the experience and offering hundreds of hours of gameplay beyond the initial encounter with Elvarg.
Lands beyond the walls of Lumbridge
Beyond the core game, a series of expansions allows players to continue their campaign beyond the final battle with Elvarg.
Each expansion features bespoke artwork across cards, boards, rulebooks, and packaging. The visual direction draws inspiration from the boss arenas found in the video game, translating their atmosphere and scale into a cohesive art direction for RuneScape Kingdoms.
