What Legends of Runeterra is

Legends of Runeterra is a card & board game game developed by Riot Games and released in 2020. It is available on Android, iOS and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity3D.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Legends of Runeterra (LoR) is a 2020 digital collectible card game developed and published by Riot Games. Inspired by the physical collectible card game Magic: The Gathering, the developers sought to create a game within the same genre that significantly lowered the barrier to entry. Since its release in April 2020, the game has been free-to-play, and is monetised through purchasable cosmetics. The game is available for Microsoft Windows and mobile operating systems iOS and Android.
