What is the Digimon Card Game?

The Digimon Card Game is a competitive trading card game. Each player has a companion Digimon in the battle area to attack the opponent. Your Digimon evolves, gets stronger, and gains new power! You win by beating your opponent’s security (reducing your opponent’s Security Area cards to zero) and delivering a knockout blow!

What do I need to start playing?

Digimon offers preconstructed card decks for launching right into the game! Further buying booster packs can help strengthen those decks, and with time you can learn to even make your own from scratch!

Riftbound Open Play Nexus Nights at Gnome Games Appleton East – Free!

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

Every Saturday from 3 PM to 6 PM, come hang out for our Riftbound Open Play Nexus Nights! These are open play casual events aimed at introducing everyone to the game and culminating a community for Riftbound. Players receive a promo at seating just for stopping in and playing!

To qualify for a Nexus Night Pack, players must have a carde.io and a linked Riot account. Account creation is here! Our event page is here!

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.

For a more guided How to Play experience, take a look at the Riftbound How to Play website!
