About this game

In these lands, the arts of magic are forbidden. Those who practice them are hunted and killed.

These mages seek shelter in forgotten places, where few dare venture and the magic of the wilds still blooms bright.

As one of those hunted few, you must make a stand and ascend to untold power, before you are slain.

Beyond the Threshold is a fantasy card game about building your powers as a mage through casting spells, building projects, and summoning minions.

In Beyond the Threshold, you position your minions to gather five resources: insight, mana, crystals, wood and corpses.

Then you use your resources to fight off perils and to invest into casting spells and building projects.

But, you will need to guard your Lair against the dangers of the forest, the wrath of the villagers, the might of the King's Army, and the might of ascended mages who do not long for company. If you're unable to manage these increasingly deadly perils, you will perish before you can ascend.

Four mages to play

Each mage has a unique ability and deck of cards. You can unlock two additional decks for each mage.

The Prophet - hears the voices of the powers beyond and spreads their word to gather countless followers. They have no qualms in sacrificing those followers to summon forth powerful but unpredictable higher beings.

The Artificer - master of metal and magic who seeks to combine science with technology. They manufacture specialized automatons then repair and upgrade them to collect resources at an industrial scale.

The Druid - is a student of life and nature who can build a band of helpful animal companions. Animals can’t act on their own but each one makes the druid even stronger.

The Necromancer - is a student of death and the dead who can summon and buff armies of zombies. They waste nothing and recycle their own units to regain some of the resources spent.
