What is Riftbound?

Riftbound is a physical trading card game where you build around six domains: Fury, Calm, Mind, Body, Chaos, and Order.

You pick a Legend, play Units, Spells, and Gear, fuel those cards with Runes, and fight over battlefields. The goal is to reach 8 points by conquering and holding those battlefields.
