February 2022 • Macworld 61Arena and Battle modes.
There are two arena options,
allowing you to either play against
the computer for more practice, or to
go online against other players. Both
Arena modes give you good rewards,
with new cards, as well as gold coins
that you can use to buy more cards in
the game’s online store.
That’s the catch, of course, as –
like most card games – Legends is
free-to-play but makes its money by
tempting you to splash some cash
to get better cards and other items
in the online store. These range from
£3 to £60, so you can spend a small
fortune if you get carried away buying
cards for the end-game Battle mode.
Fortunately, the rewards that you can
earn in the single-player and Arena
modes are good enough to get you
quite a long way into the game before
deciding if you want to part with any
real-world money.- Gwent: The

One of the advantages of the new
M1 Macs is that they use the same
Apple Silicon computer chips as the
iPhone and iPad – which makes it very
easy for developers to create M1 Mac
versions of their existing iOS apps
fairly quickly. One of the first games
to move across from iOS to M1 Macs
