Overview

Runewards is a free-to-play competitive strategy card game set in a fantasy themed world that allows players to battle one against another.

In Runewards, players are able to play Single player versus A.I. or Multiplayer versus other players in Unranked Matches.

Players can also compete in Seasonal Leagues, where reaching higher Leagues will reward the player with gifts (Chests, cards, Gold and Runes) depending on what position they finished at the end of the Season.

Cards

There are three types of cards in the game:

Unit

Units are cards that players can place on the Battlefield. Units have Power value and can also include Abilities.

Spell

Spell cards always have Abilities but never a Power value. Spells are used to alter other Units, Territories or even the entire Battlefield itself.

Hero

Hero card can be used for a one-time effect or a continuous and often weaker passive effect that lasts the entire round or match.

Card Details:

Power - Power is a number given to each Unit and it indicates how strong it is. The higher Power value - the better. The Power is shown on the top-left of the Unit cards.

Rarity - There are several rarities in the game assigned to the cards. Basic being the easiest to acquire and Mythical being the hardest. The Rarity is shown on the bottom of the cards.

Affiliation - Each Unit has its own Affiliation, whether it's Strength, Agility or Intelligence. The Affiliation indicates where the Unit can be placed on the Battlefield. The Affiliation is shown on the top-right of the Unit cards.

Ability - Many cards have Abilities, which can influence other Units, Territories or the entire Battlefield. The Ability is shown on the card description.

Rounds

A Match is played in best-of-three Rounds. A Round can be ended by pressing Pass or or by playing all the cards in the hand.

Pass
