The League of Legends trading card game is surprisingly good, because it embraces the best trends in card games

Trading Card Games (TCGs) are experiencing a surge in popularity, with titles like Magic: The Gathering achieving success through crossover events. Wizards of the Coast reports financial gains from these initiatives. TCGs face competition from board games, miniatures wargames, roleplaying games, and digital card games. Magic: The Gathering remains dominant, with The Pokémon TCG and Yu-Gi-Oh as its main challengers, though neither poses a significant threat. Riot Games has launched Riftbound: The League of Legends card game, which sold out its first print run and is being resold at inflated prices. Riftbound features a 40-card deck centered around a single Champion and incorporates unique gameplay mechanics. It is designed for both casual and competitive play, with straightforward mechanics and flexible formats. Riot's previous success in tabletop gaming supports their credibility in this venture, and Riftbound may develop a dedicated community even if it doesn't achieve mainstream success.
