Game Information

Ascension: Return of the Fallen is the newest set for the popular deck-building game Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer. The 65-card Ascension: Return of the Fallen is playable as a 2 player stand-alone game, or can be combined with Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer for an expanded game with up to six players. With its 65 all-new cards for the Center Deck, the Return of the Fallen provides players with the ability to face the God Samael in a final battle to determine the fate of Vigil. It also includes a new Fate mechanic that can change the game with a single flip of a card.

Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer revolves around a Center Deck containing Heroes, Constructs, and Monsters. Players take turns recruiting Heroes or Constructs for their decks or defeating Monsters to earn honor and ultimate victory. Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer joins other deck-building games including Dominion, Thunderstone and Resident Evil and Fantasy Flights Living Card Games (Call of Cthuhlu, Warhammer Fantasy and Game of Thrones) as a new category of games that continue to increase in popularity. These games combine complexity of combat-focused card game experience with the benefit of not having to chase powerful randomly distributed, blindly-packaged cards.

Deckbuilders still don't really do it for me. There's some nice synergies in this one, and I appreciate the fact that you don't have to re-digest the text of multiple possible cards on every set up. But strategy seems limited and interaction is low.
