#23 Ascension: Deckbuilding Game

from Scratching an Itch · host Zivan

Ascension by Stoneblade Entertainment is one of the seminal deckbuilding games. I’ve played it a lot recently and in this episode I talk about why I like the honor point pool and how I think it allows for adjustable challenge. I also briefly talk about why I think this game can easily become “a daily ritual game”. This is a public episode.
