Ascension at Firepeak (2001)

About this game

From the box: "The Archmage is dead...and you want her job! You and your rivals struggle for control using creatures of the land. Capture them, brainwash them, throw them into your dungeon or consume them for spells. The first Wizard to finish their power structure will rise to the coveted arcane throne atop FIREPEAK."

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
