The game is not quite as easy to learn as Dominion, but in my opinion, it is a lot more fun, and the art is way better. The game is very easy to set up and break down, and there is a minimal amount of sorting to do. Unlike Dominion, there is a balance or specialization to consider when drafting your deck. There are monsters to fight, and items and heros to aquire, so one may chose to specialize in battleing or aquiring, or take a chance on the not-quite-best of both worlds. There are a few flaws in the game but very little of it has to do with the mechanics or play of the game. The card quality is a weird choice, they are plastic coated paper, which is a measure of quality and resilience in some way, but they could easily get sticky. This also makes the cards a little hard to shuffle. The plastic coating may protect the cards, but when damage is done...Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews  Was this review helpful to you?  >Report abuse | Permalink  Comment 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: A quick and easy deck building game, January 3, 2011 By  Paul Muller - See all my reviews = Durability:  = Fun:  = Educational:  This review is from: Ascension Chronicle Of The Godslayer (Toy) Ascension is one of the latest games to emerge in the popular deckbuilding genre, and it's a solid effort. For those of you who are familiar with games like Thunderstone, Dominion, and the like this game is similar in a lot of ways, though I also feel like it's superior, depending on what you are looking for. Up front - I've played Dominion, Thunderstone, and Magic: The Gathering for several years prior to trying out this game, so I didn't find learning the mechanics particularly difficult. It probably took me about 10 minutes to read through the rules and start playing my first game. However, if you've never tried a deckbuilding game before, it might be a little tricky at first. On the other hand, I've taught this to 5 or 6 gaming newbies and it never took more than about 5 minutes to teach the rules and by the end of the first game they were playing just fine. The only thing they needed me for was some of the finer points in figuring out situations during...Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews  Was this review helpful to you?  >Report abuse | Permalink  Comment 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Not very engaging, October 2, 2011 By  Alexander J. Thompson (McLean, VA, US) - See all my reviews = Durability:  = Fun:  = Educational:  This review is from: Ascension Chronicle Of The Godslayer (Toy) A Disclosure: I did not buy this game, but have played it many times with friends at games stores, for what would equate to about 4 hours of total play time. The dominant strategies involve trying to discard/remove lower value cards from your deck while quickly gathering as much of the fixed supply of point tokens and more powerful center cards, with the winner gathering the most total point tokens + total value of deck cards. The first few times through it's fairly interesting. Then you realize that you're essentially playing variety of solitaire in competition with the opposing player. There is very little room for any real strategy, and much of the outcome of the game is based on luck-of-the-draw. Competition, such as it is, exists in who is able to buy/kill the cards in the communal/central hand first and to greater effect. The winner can usually be determined after only a few rounds, and after a few short games game-play can feel mechanical and rote.
