Description:
Riftbound's Proving Grounds is the best way to play the game. It's sold out, but will hopefully come back soon (maybe for Black Friday).

FULL STORY

I have fallen in love with a new game called Riftbound . Its a card game spinoff of League of Legends , and its utterly fantastic you can check out a much longer article on my Riftbound obsession for more details, and to find
out why it might be the TCG everyone has been waiting for.

Here, I instead want to talk about the best way to experience the new game: Proving Grounds. This starter-kit-meets-board-game comes with four solidly strong pre-made decks headlined by popular League champions (Annie, Garen,
Lux, and Master Yi ). It includes cardboard playmats to help you lay out your games, giant Battlefield cards to fight over, and plastic token game pieces
so you can track your points.

Ive played it with two players and with four, with players who are TCG aficionados and folks who arent, and every match has been a blast, People can pick the rules up quickly, and with multiple players theres a lot of room for forming temporary alliances in a more effective way than Ive felt from other multiplayer TCG formats (Im mostly thinking of Magic: The Gatherings Commander).

Its reasonably priced to boot at $29.99 / 29.99 / AU$59.99, but theres a
catch: you wont find it anywhere for that price. Not at the Riot Official
Store , not anywhere.

As you might expect from a card game based on one of the worlds most popular gaming franchises with both the immensely popular MOBA, several hit
spinoffs, and the phenomenal Arcane Netflix series Riftbound has been
selling like hotcakes, and in many places its sold out or being offered at a massively inflated price.

Theres some good news, however, with Riot announcing that its aware of the issues and has several plans to try and rectify them, including restocks, reprints, and programs to incentivize partners and provide them rewards for engaging in player-first behavior, including reasonable pricing.

This includes new stock, which Riot promises will be arriving to local game stores between now and the end of the year.

So this Black Friday and as we head into the holiday period, I know what Ill
be on the lookout for: more Riftbound packs, and you should definitely have
the game (especially the Proving Grounds box set) on your radar.
