First, no rune tokens are placed in home realms during setup in Runewars Revised Edition. Essentially, no player begins with runes; players just start in close proximity to runes that have been placed in nearby areas. This subtle change introduces a new layer of strategy during setup, as each player takes a turn placing one real and one false rune on the map. Then, players select the location of their home realms as usual...except now the stakes are higher. Should you select a starting location near the runes you placed? Did your opponent place an easily accessible rune near the edge of the board, or is that a ruse to distract you from another, more desirable location?
An interesting new wrinkle, I'd say.
