About
PoroTrainer is a free, community-run practice tool for Riftbound rules. It exists because the fastest way to learn a rules interaction is to be asked about it, guess wrong, and find out why.
It isn't official, and it doesn't replace the Core Rules or a real judge. When an answer here disagrees with the current rules documents, the rules documents win — tell us and we'll fix it.
The difficulty scale
Symbols you'll see
Might — a unit's fighting strength, at the bottom of every unit card here.
Exhaust — turning a card sideways. Exhausting a unit is the cost of its standard move.
Power, any domain — a cost you can pay with whichever power you have.
Where the idea comes from
PoroTrainer is inspired by, and openly modelled on, the remarkable work of Isaac King — KingSupernova — who built RulesGuru.net for Magic: The Gathering. Thousands of players and judges learned to read a rules interaction properly on that site: filter by difficulty, get asked something you have never seen, be wrong, understand why. That format is his.
We borrowed the shape of it — difficulty levels, the question-then-reveal loop, randomised player names, community submissions with moderation — and pointed it at Riftbound. If you play Magic at all, go and use the original.
Look the rules up
For looking something up rather than being quizzed on it, go to riftboundfaq.com — the reference built by Christian Ivicevic, Near. It is the clearest, best-maintained collection of Riftbound rulings and answers there is, and it is where we check ourselves.
Use the two together: read it there, then drill it here until you no longer need to look.

Nothing here was written by the site. Every question came from someone who had the argument first, and every article from someone who sat down and explained it properly.

How to help
Submit the arguments you actually had. Report answers that look wrong. If you want to moderate, say so in a submission — moderators read the queue and publish what's clear.
Card names and card text in the current sample questions are placeholders, written to demonstrate the format. Real card data can replace them without touching the questions.
