Ascension Tactics: Miniatures Deckbuilding Game (2022)

About this game

Ascension Tactics is a revolutionary new game, pioneering a brand-new genre by combining the best of tactical miniatures games with the fast-paced strategy of deck-building games. Ascension Tactics brings the most iconic characters from the award-winning deck-building game to life as highly-detailed paintable 3D miniatures. Many ways to play! Battle through the campaign mode or try the various PvP, Cooperative, and Solo Scenarios. PvP drafting mode allows players to build their armies before a battle. Players acquire cards from the ever-changing center row to power up their forces. Even the smallest miniature can take down mighty beasts by gaining command points and equipping magical constructs. No dice rolling required! —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
