Ascendancy - The Ultimate 4x Worker Placement Board Game
Ascendancy is live on Kickstarter now!
Get ready for the biggest, baddest epic fantasy game to ever hit your tabletop.
Lead 1 of many asymmetric houses of royal lineage, each vying for the throne. Reclaim your family name, through a hero’s (or villans) journey spanning multiple generations, or a single scenario.
Build your empire skyward, seize control outward, manipulate the economy, or dominate the battlefield. There are several paths to victory. Every decision counts, and no two games of Ascendancy are ever the same.
At the heart of the game, a deep melting pot of interesting decision points awaits you. Tried & true gameplay mechanics such as worker placement, yet with novel innovations, such as “social class“ based action programming & progression. Almost everything (and everyone) in the world of Ascendancy can be upgraded and improved. Reward Your Loyalists, exile your traitors, or promote outlaws to land holding lords. Master your strategy, and you will be rewarded with a limitless kingdom of your own design.
As labor of love in active development for over 4 years, it’s inspired by classics from the likes of Heroes of Might & Magic III, Civilization, Magic The Gathering, and Game of Thrones. The world of Ascendancy wears its epic fantasy roots proudly, yet exists for you to blaze your own trail.
