Still interested?
Well, when you put it that way...

I cannot stand Runebound, nothing about this video really sold me on a new version.
I noticed that too and thought it was weird. The video about put me to sleep....

I'd much rather see a marketing guy talk about the game than hear from the designers/creators. Rule #1 of any video content....don't be boring.

Actually it looks kind of interesting - At least I won't dismiss it out of hand (especially since I sold all my old 2nd stuff in anticipation of 3rd). It reminds me of the way Mr Jack Pocket determines what actions are available for the turn by tossing a handful of two sided dice into the air. At least it looks more engaging than rolling dice, adding modifiers then looking at numbers dozens of times. And quicker than setting up and playing a separate mini-game.
As far as the video goes, well that's just the results of planned marketing. Can't spoil any details because other promotional materials rely on that reveal later.
Rule #2 of any video content is to reveal just enough to allow the fanatics to pause, transcribe and pontificate endlessly on what they see and what they thin it means.

Is this how games are designed now? Being hip at the computer?
EDIT: I'm not saying there's anything wrong with these dudes, but it feels so...sterile in away. I dunno. I guess I always go back to the GW guys smoking cigarettes and listening to Bolt Thrower albums as the way to put out designs with heart. I'm just getting old I suppose...

Allies always were the biggest thing that gave me the SNES RPG feel from Runebound. There was you, the main character, leading a party of shmoes of varying capabilities. By the time you tanked up at game's end, it was you and your crew versus the world.

One of the boss cards says it gets -2 per Companion the player has. So may be there's allies.
