You can buy Heroes and Constructs with the Runes, and battle Monsters with Power. On each turn, you play cards from your hand to gain Runes, Power and Honor. The rest of the cards are shuffled together to form a draw pile, and the top six are dealt out to form the center row.
On the side of the deck are three types of cards that are always available: Mystics, which provide two Runes each Heavy Infantry, worth two Power each and the Cultist-an easy to defeat bad guy which rewards you one Honor. Each player shuffles their own set of cards and draws five to form a hand. Runes are used to purchase Hero and Construct cards, and Power is used to battle Monsters. The cards themselves are very easy to read, though, with a clearly stated cost for purchasing cards or defeating the monsters.Įach player starts with eight Apprentices (worth one Rune each) and two Militia (worth one Power each). You can see examples of the style throughout the Ascension website. The artwork on the cards is hand-drawn and has a sketchier look. They're a fun touch, and because of the way the scoring is designed you do need them (or some other way) to keep score. The "honor tokens" are plastic jewels, in red and colorless, which are used to keep score in addition to the values printed on some of the cards. The board simply shows the spaces and has a turn summary printed on it. Speaking of the board: while it's attractive and sturdy, it is unessential to the game: You need a draw and discard pile, six slots for the center row, and and three spaces for the "always available" cards.
