About This Demo

The Red Rising Demo is a limited, single-player experience of the critically acclaimed board game, based on Pierce Brown’s bestselling sci-fi saga. Play matches against two AI opponents with reduced game-end conditions and 44 of the original 112 cards. Players will get to experience the Color caste system and rules from the original tabletop game, as well as stunning visuals, audio, and menus.

Take command of followers from rival houses in a game of hand management. Trigger powerful card effects, and battle for dominance across Mars and beyond. Every decision can help — or hinder — your opponents in the fight to be the house with ultimate power.

Draft unique characters from the Golds, Reds, Obsidians, and beyond, then chain their abilities into devastating combos that can turn the tide of battle in a single turn.

The physical game brought to life with stunning upgrades only possible in digital form. Watch every card come alive with brilliant gold foils and refractions, dynamic effects, and custom voice-over performances. Enjoy exclusive digital tools that make the game faster and more immersive: instant scoring, rules on command, and a rich in-game codex that dives deeper into the Colors, Houses, and lore.

This is Red Rising as you’ve never experienced it before.

Every rule. Every card. Every strategic choice as you remember it from the tabletop. Emerald City Games is happy to partner with Stonemaier Games to bring the complete, board game experience to PC. The full game will feature all 112 unique character cards, beautifully recreated, and ready for deployment.

Red Rising launches on Steam in Q4 2026.
