What the Bonus Map Adds
The RUN bonus map is a double-sided board featuring Barcelona on one side and Copenhagen on the other. Each side introduces unique gameplay elements—like new districts or special movement rules—that change how you plan your heist. You do not need any extra components beyond what comes in the base RUN game.
Choosing a Side
Before setup, decide whether you want to play the Barcelona or Copenhagen scenario. Both use the same physical map but offer different challenges. Barcelona focuses on tight alleyways and quick escapes, while Copenhagen emphasizes canal crossings and open plazas. Pick the one that fits your group's preferred play style.
Step-by-Step Setup
- 1. Place the Bonus Map: Set the bonus map on the table with your chosen side (Barcelona or Copenhagen) face up. Position it next to the base game board so that the starting locations align with the base game's edge. Common mistake: placing the map too far away, making it hard to reach. Keep it within arm's length of all players.
- 2. Shuffle New Location Cards: Take the location cards that come with the bonus map and shuffle them into the base game's location deck. Do not remove any base game cards unless the scenario rules say otherwise. Checkpoint: ensure the deck is evenly mixed to avoid clumps of bonus locations early in the game.
- 3. Set Up Player Pieces: Each player places their pawn on the starting space indicated by the scenario rules. For Barcelona, start near the harbor; for Copenhagen, start near the central plaza. Distribute equipment tokens as usual. Common mistake: placing pawns on the base game start instead of the bonus map start. Verify the scenario's starting point.
- 4. Review Scenario Rules: Read the unique rules for your chosen side. Barcelona may add extra guard patrols, while Copenhagen might change how alarms trigger. Note any differences before the first turn. Checkpoint: write down rule changes on a notecard so no one forgets mid-game.
- 5. Begin Playing: Start the game following standard RUN turn order. The bonus map does not change the core turn structure—just the board layout and special conditions. Play until the heist objective is complete.
