Feel the Power of the Rift
As a Riftblade, you are blessed with a unique connection to five aspects of arcane and powerful magic. Master the ebb and flow of The Rift as you empower and overcharge your spells, acquire new spells and techniques, and grow to become a mighty, battle-hardened mage.
Every turn in Riftblade is a fast-paced, puzzle-solving thrill as you marshal your spells and Riftstones to create a single, powerful chaining attack, proving your mastery and conquering your foes!
Weave. Strike. Adapt.
How to Play Riftblade
Riftblade brings bold, innovative twists to the highly popular genre of deckbuilding card battlers, where every turn is a chance for tactical decision-making and powerful combos.
Build Your Magical Attack
Chain your spells together through common Aspects, empowering and overcharging each spell with clever use of your Riftstones.
In the heat of battle, you only have time for one attack each round; how far will you be able to go before you are spent?
Control the Rift
Channel new spells from The Rift to build an unstoppable spell book, or trigger them for instant effect.
Master the tempo of play and control The Rift to stymie your opponent to seize ultimate victory!
Fast, Yet Deep
Riftblade’s action-packed turns keep the game flowing and everyone engaged, while its adaptive spellcasting system creates compelling and interesting choices all game, every game. A typical turn flies by in just two minutes of crunchy, puzzle-solving fun, and the entire game goes from setup to final victor in as little as 30 minutes.

Battle on your Table and Mobile Device
Want to play Riftblade on the go? Eager to see how you rank against Riftblade players from across the globe? Looking for new challenges and unique gameplay that can only be achieved digitally? We've got you covered with a simultaneous mobile version, launching in the very same campaign as the tabletop edition.
Backers will receive exclusive early access to Riftblade Digital before its global release, putting them one step ahead of the competition!
Honed to a Knife's Edge
With hundreds of public playtests and thousands of simulations, every element of Riftblade has been balanced and tested to ensure a thrilling game every time you play.
Gorgeous Fantasy Art
Hand-illustrated characters, spells, creatures, and effects immerse you in Riftblade's vibrant, deeply realized fantasy world.
A Game That Grows With You
Riftblade teaches and plays quickly, while offering a satisfying strategic experience with over 130 cards in the core box alone.
Once you've mastered the art of the head-to-head duel, explore the nuances of the game's unique 4-player team melee: cast into a shared combo each turn, deciding which opponent to target... and thereby empower.
Want to delve even deeper? With two expansions available at launch, years of planned quarterly releases, community events and tournaments, and more, you'll be discovering new combos and slinging spells for years to come.
All the Thrills of Your Favorite TCG in a Single Box
Leave the churn (and expense) of endless booster pack purchases in the past where it belongs. Every match of Riftblade is played with a single shared deck, which means that it's your skill alone - not your wallet - that will determine your fate.
