Who it's for

Duelling card game players who want deckbuilding depth without a randomised booster treadmill.

Vibe's take

Tense and reactive – turns interlock so tightly that half your planning is about what you can afford to answer.

About this game

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.
