Join us at Gnome Games Appleton East for our Riftbound Nexus Nights!

Every Saturday from 3 PM to 6 PM, we’re hosting Riftbound Nexus Nights! These are open play casual events aimed at introducing everyone to the game and culminating a community for Riftbound. With a purchase of $5 of any Riftbound related product, players will also receive a promo at seating!

To participate, players will need a carde.io account and a linked Riot Account. Refer to their Riftbound website for how to set up these accounts!

Events can be located on the Riftbound event tracker.

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.
