Riot Games reveals “the best TCG social game”
A few days ago, Riot Games suddenly released a more than 4-minute video called “Introducing Project K: League of Legends card trading game (TCG)” causing a stir in the community. This project is believed by Riot Games to be “the best TCG game connecting the community” currently. In addition to traditional, intense 1v1 matches, Riot’s Project K can also be played in modes such as 2v2 or free play for entertainment purposes.

Riot Games’ new “super product” was pointed out for its fatal mistake
Although it is an extremely promising game, Project K does not seem to be received too enthusiastically by gamers loyal to Riot Games. Many people think that this is a superfluous move from Riot when they already have an online card game, Legends of Runeterra. Furthermore, the community also pointed out that the cards introduced in Riot’s video have a “boring” design and do not make players want to collect them even though this is the core of the TCG game format.
“Hey Riot, if you want to make a TCG game, you should make more attractive cards and attract players to collect them” – A gamer shared
“I don’t know, these cards look really boring” – Another player frankly commented
“The cards in the video are just temporary versions, right? They look pretty bad” – Another player agreed
“Those cards look unattractive at all, like a cheaper version of One Piece TCG. Half of the cards are blank spaces and the drawings on them don’t match at all” – Another gamer shared shall
Indeed, when looking at other TCG games from brands like Yugi Oh!, Pokémon… the cards are all designed extremely vividly and attractively. From the back of the card, the outline to the character images, spells…, Yugi Oh! or Pokémon all bring certain satisfaction to players. This helps the cards themselves have extremely high collectible value and are loved by players, not to mention their power in the game.
Yugi Oh! or Pokémon all have eye-catching designs with many outstanding colors
Meanwhile, Project K’s cards lack that and have too much boring white space
Meanwhile, Project K’s card design is quite sketchy as they simply reused images from Legends of Runeterra and the character effects are too short. This accidentally makes each card have a lot of empty space and makes it much less attractive. To be fair, Riot’s move towards the TCG game series is a bold and remarkable move. However, they need to make major edits (at least in terms of card appearance) to this game if they don’t want Project K to be left behind by other TCG monuments.
