Ascension: Delirium

Read more...

I feel like, rabid fans aside, Ascension is getting to a place where it might be a more sensible iOS game, rather than collecting another block of cardboard to sleeve & put on the shelf. It feels like at this point, the original (and maybe the first expansion or two) may have a spot on a shelf, but the longer it goes, the longer it feels like it might be best digested in a more ephemeral form, instead of card-and-dice style. I feel the same way about Elder Sign. Like, the redundancy is uncomfortable and feels overdone.

Am I wrong?

The amount of "stuff" is definitely a lot. I have everything in two boxes, most of which is unsleeved. Boards are stored elsewhere. I really would rather them stop with the big box releases altogether. The boards aren't necessary and I have piles of plastic gems that I don't know what to do with. Although I do play the digital version, I do still break out the physical one.
