Classified Escalation League
Attention Warhammer 40k fans! Gnome Games is running an Escalation League this summer at a number of Gnome Games Locations!
An Escalation League is a gradually growing series of events that asks each player to bring their assembly, painting, tactics and skill to the forefront! Leagues will involve a multitude of methods of gaining points each week; with weekly winners and it will all culminate in a grand bash at the end!

What is Riftbound?
Riftbound is a collectable trading card game featuring a vast array of characters and locales from League of Legends. Choose a Legend and Chosen Champion card for your deck and battle it out between 2 to 4 players in various game modes! The most important card in your deck is your champion legend. This is the card you build your deck around—it determines your options for the chosen champion who starts faceup on the board and who you’ll send to fight for you, and it defines the domains (colors) of your deck’s cards.
Your legend and your chosen champion define your strategy. Maybe your plan is quick strikes, maybe it’s to build up an unstoppable huge army, or maybe it’s to use one incredibly powerful and mobile fighter. You’ll have additional units (and other champion units) to send to fight, spells to help them win, and even gear to empower your team.
