A new entry point to the Ashes expandable card game, adding two magic types and a new kind of foe for solo and cooperative battles while staying fully compatible with Ashes Reborn.
Who it's for
Duelling card game players who want deckbuilding depth without a randomised booster treadmill.
Not for you if…
You want a game that plays beyond two, or living card game upkeep and deck tuning is not for you.
Vibe's take
Tense and reactive – turns interlock so tightly that half your planning is about what you can afford to answer.
