One card can turn the whole board. Build your deck, place summon cards on a 4x4 grid, and capture enemy units when your attack beats their defense. Each captured unit can trigger another capture, turning a careful placement into a board-wide chain reaction. FOUR HEROES, FOUR WAYS TO WIN - Venom Witch: weaken defenses with Poison and spread across the board. - Chain Dancer: connect captures into sweeping combos. - Swarm Queen: grow your brood and overwhelm the enemy with numbers. - Fortress Saint: build a strong defense and turn it into counterattacks. Each hero has unique abilities and skills that change how you build your deck and approach each battle. BUILD YOUR DECK AND COMBINE RELICS Collect summon cards from battle rewards, merchants, and events. Upgrade or remove cards to refine your deck, then combine relics to support your chosen tactics.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Rune Board at none against Dunjourney's shown. Rune Board also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Dunjourney's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
