Ascension is a deck-building game in which players spend Runes to acquire more powerful cards for their deck.

Really good game but the app killed it for me, I've got all the expansions there and turns are super fast and really largee combos can be made that would annoy a human opponent. I might get a not so played standalone expansion in the future to keep this game around.

Good draft-deckbuilding game, but i feel that if you play 3 or 4 times you know all the cards.

I mainly play Ascension online. It's just way quicker and the app takes care of most upkeep. The game in itself is a little too random for me at times. RNG can be very frustrating and some cards can quickly get out of hand. Sometimes there''s also the decision between getting a bad card yourself or letting your opponent getting a great card (because it doesn't do anything for you but combos with your opponent), not exactly a fun decision. Seeing these big combos getting played out is part of the appeal of Ascension though. All in all I will play it if someone wants to, but will probably not br
