Rival teams of champions battle across lane-filled arenas to smash through defenses and destroy the enemy nexus. ()

Gameplay

This game is meant to feel like a MOBA video game (think League of Legends) streamlined into board game form. Play cards and spend actions to move champions, push minions, fight enemies, and break towers until you can destroy the opposing nexus. The pressure is choosing when to commit to lane pushes versus risking everything on jungle and river clashes.
