In Gateway: Uprising, the players lead factions of wizards trying to liberate a steampunk fantasy city from the evil Chancellor Gideon, who has outlawed magic, while combating the monstrous forces of the Druegger which are trying to destroy the entire city.  The game combines deckbuilding and area control mechanics.  Players use the cards in their decks and one-use Runestones combat the Chancellor and the Druegger, earning points for defeating them and controlling the districts of the city. 

Gateway:  Uprising is set in the Great City of Gateway, created by fantasy artist Sean Andrew Murray, who also helped design the game along with computer game designers John Hawkins (Cityville 2) and Michelle Menard (DomiNations).  Gateway: Uprising is the team’s first board game design.

The game includes 390 cards and 10 district boards.  It is designed for 2 to 4 players, ages 14 and up.  MSRP has not been announced.
