About this game
A center row of cards constantly shifts as heroes and monsters appear from a shared deck, creating an ever-changing market that rewards adaptability over planning. Ascension strips deck building to its fastest form: buy heroes, defeat monsters, gain honor points. Designed by Magic: The Gathering pro tour champions, it plays in thirty minutes and has that one-more-game pull. The app version is one of the best digital board game implementations available.
