I can;t offer any insight to MageKnight but I can tell you Runewars is an amazing game. I've never played it two players but I think it would work fine with 2. I think the game scales very well. I've played it 3 player and 4 player.Recently I've played it 3 player with my two daughters and I think it works fine with 3. Our last game was tense with a lot of battles between the 3 of us. I didn't think my youngest was doing that well but in the end she won. She played a tactics or quest card that allowed her hero to place a stronghold and she p;laced it deep behind her sisters lines and before big sister could react she was able to recruit a good sized force that wreak havoc and ultimately she was able to secure the win. I think this game offers a lot of paths and factors to victory. And we just have the base game at this point.
And if you can still get the big box then even better. I love the 3d mountains and so glad I have them. You can download the revised edition rules off FFG.
Runewars is money well spent!
