The Gate is a challenging strategy game for 2 to 5 players. It combines the competitive spirit of a classic board game with the fun and fantasy of a role-playing game. It’s designed for ages 11 and up, but 9 and 10 year-olds love it, too. 

ToysBulletin.com called The Gate a magnificent game.” The independent toy review website went on to say that The Gate “…introduced some new element of strategy each time we played, and that is rare to find in today's board games.” ToysBulletin.com also listed The Gate as one of the best games of 2012. An article in the Ohio Plain Dealer recently raved, “It’s destined to be a classic.” Launched at Toy Fair 2012, The Gate is currently available in over fifty stores in eight states.
