In the Great City of Gateway a brutal Inquisition has been initiated by a cruel dictator, Chancellor Gideon. A war hero and prophet of a long-forgotten deity called Daeus, Chancellor Gideon views magic as a sacred gift of the gods, not meant for the hands of mere mortals, and seeks to abolish Magic for everyone but himself! This Inquisition threatens the very foundation of Gateway - a city built on magic. In Gateway: Uprising, an area-control deck-builder with a unique board game twist, players take on the roles of competing factions of rebellious wizards attempting to retake their city, one district at a time, from the oppressive Chancellor and his regime.
