About MindGate: A pool-building roguelike deckbuilder. You draw cards, but never build a deck. Line units across 3 lanes and weave 49 units into 21 synergies. Damage stacks in three layers—Base × Combo × Resonance—and the deeper you specialize, the harder it explodes. Three classes, one pool to sharpen.
