Gauntlet.

Each player chooses a faction and Leader, constructs a Deck, selects three Territories, and joins them with the opponent's three Territories to form the Gauntlet. Players advance through that shared battlefield, commit cards secretly in battles, capture enemy-controlled ground, and attempt to break through the opposing line.

Military focuses on command and direct pressure. Diplomats, Financiers, Intelligence, Mystics, and the Inquisition each add their own resources, components, and an additional route to victory while still contesting the same battlefield.

Gauntlet is in active pre-release development and expanded playtesting. The current canonical playtest edition is v0.7.1. Public rules, cards, starter Decks, the Deckbuilder, Rules Arbiter, and Tabletop Simulator package are maintained against the current published authority.

The current development emphasis is broad human playtesting, matchup and faction balance, winner and loser experience, self-serve onboarding, Tabletop Simulator maintenance, and continued work on the rules-aware digital engine.

Gauntlet was created and is developed by Tymon Scott. It is published by TDS Games, an imprint of Misty Hollow Enterprises.

The project combines game-system design, physical and digital prototyping, original setting development, card and component production, and a growing set of browser tools intended to make playtesting and rules access straightforward.
