Description
Temple Gates Games is a San Francisco based team of boardgame app developers. Our specialty is in bringing boardgames to a wider audience by offering digital adaptations that players can play on the go. We work with boardgame designers and publishers to bring their creations to digital life, including quality of life improvements such as automated bookkeeping, rules enforcement, interactive tutorials, and more. Our cross-platform philosophy allows players to play across mobile and PC devices. We are most known for integrating neural-networked AI to create learning opponents and lickety split performance.
History
ProductOur flagship title, Dominion, is a classic deckbuilder game, available across PC, iOs, and Android devices. Dominion introduced the deckbuilder genre. Race for the Galaxy, and its dice variant Roll for the Galaxy, are also available across app stores. We also offer Shards of Infinity, the sequel to Ascension, a cyberpunk take on the deckbuilding genre.
BackgroundHaving spent a decade building out a custom boardgame engine in C++, our team is poised to bring player favorite titles to mobile and PC devices. We hail from companies including Blizzard and Maxis, where we worked on AAA titles, but spent countless nights over takeout and tabletop in our board game clubs before biting the bullet and forming Temple Gates Games, a company dedicated to growing an online presence for the boardgames we love.
