Welcome to Legends of Runeterra! The exciting card game of League and Legends!

In the first set, you can choose from 24 champion cards to include in your deck, each with a unique mechanic inspired by their original league abilities.

Champions enter the battle as powerful cards, and if you play smart, they level up to become even more epic.
Champions are key cards to build your deck around but to take down the enemy nexus, you’re going to need a team.

Pick allies that support your champ’s strategy to level up fast and take control of the board.
You have tons of supporting cards to choose from.
You’ll encounter some familiar faces, and discover completely new ones.

Every card and character in the game comes from a region of Runeterra.
At launch, you have access to cards from six major regions: Demacia, Noxus, Freljord, Piltover & Zaun, Ionia and the Shadow Isles.
Each region has a distinct playstyle and strategic advantage.

But things get even more interesting when you combine cards from two different regions.
There’s a deck for every personality and play style.
It’s up to you to find the right cards for your winning strategy, or a different kind of strategy.

Legends of Runeterra is free to play.
As you play you’ll complete quests and earn experience to advance and automatically unlock new cards.

Which region you unlock first is up to you.

You decide where your cards come from and can switch regions whenever you want.
You can unlock cards for your collection using shards you’ve earned or coins you’ve bought.

Bandle City

“Long before the Yordles called Bandle City home, there was only a tree.

No one knows why, or when, but it grew to fill the space behind reality, unfurling its branches into the Spirit Realm until it had no clear beginning or end—it only was, and had always been.

Its fae magic reached into Runeterra through swirling portals, granting safe passage to curious little beings who sought to learn more about the world beyond their own…

…the world Beyond the Bandlewood.”
