You can stage massive turn-based battles with up to 16 players.
Rift Zone: Contact App
This isn’t a video game. Rift Zone: Contact combines augmented reality with fantastic sci-fi minis embedded with RFID and a full-color 345mm corner-to-corner board with hexes. It’s a totally immersive wargaming experience!

There is no need to keep track of tons of tokens or point tallies – each mini collects experience points, abilities, and special customizations as you play more and more rounds. It’s all in the app.
The app makes it easy to dive into the game right out of the box with ready-to-play campaigns, or you can let your imagination run wild by using anything in your surroundings to craft your battlefield.
Simply move, attack, and act. The AR-enabled app shows you what’s possible so you can concentrate on your strategy. Every unit is different in this asymmetric battle.
