According to Polygon, players will have 10 different missions to conquer in the "League of Legends" board game. Each one of the missions will last between an estimated 60 to 90 minutes. The game definitely has a story line which revolves around four Yordles named Heimerdinger, Tristana, Corki, and Ziggs. The game's story covers how the four League of Legends characters from "soon-to-be-mega-prestigious" school fight against enemies. It is to be noted that "Mechs vs Minions" has no similarities with "League Of Legends" except the setting and theme.

The game package features five game boards, 100 miniature minions, four painted mech figures, an hourglass, different types of dice, decks of cards, four acrylic shards, a bomb-like power source miniature, gems and much more. According to "Mechs Vs. Minions" official website, the first wave of the "League of Legends" board game will be rolled out in English and Simplified Chinese. However, the makers hope to expand to more languages in the coming future, reported Geek.

Notably, developer Riot Games began working on the board game almost three years ago. Chris Cantrell, Associate Producer at Riot, said the board game started as a passion project. Interestingly, Cantrell was the only dedicated person working on the board game for more than one year. The "Mechs vs. Minions team" consisted of a maximum of seven people, most of whom were simultaneously working on other projects at the studio.
