Product Description

Product Description

Ascension is a fast paced deckbuilding game designed by Magic Pro Tour champions Justin Gary, Rob Dougherty, and Brian Kibler, with artwork by Eric Sabee. Ascension is a deckbuilding game where players spend Runes to acquire more powerful cards for their deck. It offers a dynamic play experience where players have to react and adjust their strategy accordingly. Gameplay is similar to other deckbuilding games, with the player adding cards to their deck by purchasing them from a shared center deck, which has the top six cards revealed and available for purchase. When cards are removed, they are replaced with a new one from the top of the deck. Honor points are earned in three ways: firstly, each card purchased is worth one or more Honor; second, Honor can be gained by defeating monsters with a Power resource featured on several of the cards; finally, some cards give Honor directly each time they are played.

    There’s a solo mode!
    Even though I own a lot of games, I’m still a newcomer to the world of deckbuilding games. A friend from work recommended this game so I did some research watching tutorials and gameplays on YouTube. When I found out there’s a solo variant I clicked “Buy Now” and skipped “Add to Cart”! I don’t have many friends that like playing boardgames as much as I do so I’m always excited for these solo modes. It’s a pretty easy game to learn. Play your whole hand of cards, Acquire cards, Play cards and follow the texts from the cards. Player with the highest honor wins. For the solo variant, you’re playing against the Cultist and it’s pretty fast pace and hard to beat. The quality of the card stock is nice and the board is alright. I would prefer more awesome colors but you really don’t need the board. It does help organize the game.
