Beyond the Threshold

Beyond the Threshold is a fantasy card game about hunted mages who hide in forgotten places where wild magic still flourishes. You build a mage’s powers by casting spells, constructing projects and summoning minions, while trying to survive long enough to ascend.

Gather and survive

Position minions to collect five resources: insight, mana, crystals, wood and corpses. Spend them to face perils and invest in spells and projects. You must defend your Lair against the forest, hostile villagers, the King's Army and ascended mages who want no company. The dangers grow increasingly deadly, and failing to manage them means you perish before ascending.

Choose a mage

The game has four mages, each with a unique ability and deck. You can unlock two additional decks for each mage.

• The Prophet: hears the voices of powers beyond and spreads their word to gather followers, whom they may sacrifice to summon powerful but unpredictable higher beings.
• The Artificer: combines metal, magic, science and technology. They build specialized automatons, then repair and upgrade them to gather resources on an industrial scale.
• The Druid: builds a group of animal companions. The animals cannot act on their own, but each one strengthens the druid.
• The Necromancer: summons and strengthens zombie armies, recycling their own units to recover some of the resources spent.

Cooperative multiplayer

Play online with one to three other players. Everyone acts simultaneously, with no downtime, as you work together to survive the king's wrath.

Game modes

Choose from four objectives:

• Ascension: complete four ascension trials.
• Boss fight: defeat four bosses of increasing difficulty.
• Survival: survive a set number of turns.
• Ultimate: complete all three objectives at once.

The game features over 450 unique cards.
