Ascension Tactics: Miniatures Deckbuilding Game

Product Type: Standalone tactical deck-building game.

Ascension Tactics: Miniatures Deckbuilding Game combines the fast card-buying engine of Ascension with tactical battles on a hex-based battlefield. Players recruit champions, acquire cards from the changing center row, and use their growing decks to move, fight, control the board, and score victory.

The game supports several ways to play, including campaign, cooperative, solo, and player-versus-player modes. PvP drafting lets players build their forces before battle, while the card market keeps each game shifting as new powers and options appear. There is no dice rolling, so success comes from positioning, deck development, timing, and clever use of champion abilities. Stone Blade’s current official listing describes the retail edition as supporting 1–4 players, ages 10+, with a 45–90 minute playtime.

Contents include: cards, battlefield tiles, champions, tokens, a gameboard, and scenario book. Check the physical box before finalising the contents wording: the current Stone Blade retail listing notes that its retail edition includes champion standees rather than miniatures, while older “Miniatures Deckbuilding Game” branding and Kickstarter material may suggest or include miniatures.
