About the game
Run for Your Life! is free downloadable content for Cadwallon: City of Thieves that adds a new high-stakes timer to the game. Featuring new map tiles and locations along with the variant rules to use them, Run for Your Life! brings even more variety to nightly illicit activities. This variant requires The Inn, Cry Havoc!, and A Gamble in the Dark, which are each available via the links on each of the respective BGG pages, or on Fantasy Flight's support page. Run for Your Life! introduces the amazing Seismic Scale of Mage-Geologist Von Riechter, which can accurately predict the total destruction of Cadwallon based on the increasing strength of tremors and aftershocks. Watch the scale closely; the thief brave enough to endure fire and falling rubble might just claim the most wealth, if he isn’t killed first.
