Ascension: Dreamscape (2015)

About this game

Ascension is a deck-building game in which players spend Runes to acquire more powerful cards for their deck. It offers a dynamic play experience where players have to react and adjust their strategy accordingly. Each player starts with a small deck of cards, and uses those cards to acquire more and better cards for their deck, with the goal of earning the most Honor Points by gaining cards and defeating monsters. Ascension: Dreamscape is the ninth standalone game in the Ascension series, although the game can be combined with other titles for play with up to six players. This set introduces the Insight resource that allows players to acquire exclusive Dream cards. Player can also use the Dreamscape to access powerful new Vision cards as well as Heroes and Contructs.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
