Both players shuffle their tiny 10 card decks and draw 5 cards. In Ascension, you begin the game with a 10 card deck containing 8 “Apprentice” cards (currency), and 2 “Militia” cards (combat power). The genre was popularized by games like Dominion and Thunderstone, as well as popular newcomers Resident Evil Deck Building Game and Nightfall. Instead of coming to the table with your friend and decks ready to go, you build your decks as you play. The key difference in a deck building game is that all the cards you are going to use to play come in the box ready to go. No little Johnny, a deck building game takes the best parts of “games like Magic” (deck building and card interactions) and gets rid of the worst parts of “games like Magic” (spending tons of money to keep up and then having to face off against decks from 10 years ago when you play with you friends.) Ascension is a relatively new game in the ever-growing world of card games, having released in 2010 as the deck building game genre started to really become noticed.ĭeck Building Games? Isn’t that just a fancy way to say “games like Magic?” Why? Because I am so familiar with the physical game that the review kept turning into a description of the physical game rather than the iOS version.Īscension: Chronicle of the Godslayer is a competent enough port of the game to allow the app to be judged on the merits of the game being played, and not the typical difficulties usually associated with playing card games on a smaller screen. Reviewing this app was surprisingly difficult for me.
