Ascension was a blockbuster deckbuilder when it released on tabletop in 2010, and its design has only gotten better.

Since bursting into gaming in 2008 with Dominion, the deckbuilding genre has grown wildly, eclipsing any expectations one might have had at the time. Deckbuilders take the nominally out-of-game mechanic of competitive card games, building your deck, and make it the focus of the game itself. Deckbuilding, though, has moved on a lot since 2008. We’re now in the era of thewith wonderful games like Slay the Spire.

In Ascension you’re one of several rival commanders trying to seal away evil forces before they overwhelm the material world. Your victory is assured, but whoever seals away the most evil fastest is the winner. It’s laughably simple compared to complex, evolved deckbuilders you see pop up every year now. That, I will argue, is an incredibly good thing. It’s just a deckbuilder—that’s all you do. Playing Ascension lets you learn and truly understand basic strategies of deck building: Managing your card pool, whittling down your deck size, building an overall strategy, and ensuring each turn provides strong resource balance. It also lets you learn these things absent the complexities of other games.
