Legends of Runeterra

Champion Strategy Card Game

Set in Riot Games’ hugely popular League of Legends universe, this gorgeous collectible card game quickly rose to the top of a genre already brimming with polished gems.

With thoughtful strategy, beautiful art, and thrilling online play, Legends of Runeterra became an instant hit. Thanks to dozens of mighty heroes and spells at your disposal, building dazzling decks from its generous roster of cards is almost as fun as pulling one over on your opponents.

Each match is a contest of sly feints and savage strikes. Do you flood the board with low-cost Spiderlings to overwhelm your foe? Or summon a powerful Champion, like big-hearted Braum, to soak up damage? Or maybe you’ve saved up your mana to unleash an unstoppable cascade of elemental spells.

Play your cards right to block incoming attacks—and inflict some serious damage.

Except nothing is really unstoppable in Legends of Runeterra—not if you hold the right cards. Because of the game’s innovative, back-and-forth rhythm, virtually any move can be countered, making each round an intricate, intoxicating battle of wits.

It’s as enthralling to watch as it is to play. Lush illustrations bring the world’s deep lore to life. And when a Champion levels up, breathtaking cinematic effects explode across every inch of your iPad’s Liquid Retina display.

Gamers are always looking for entertaining distractions that also offer great value. With its wealth of free cards and complex strategies to explore, Legends of Runeterra was perhaps the most rewarding iPad game this year.
