Ascension: Return of the Fallen is the newest set for the popular deck-building game Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer. The 65-card Ascension: Return of the Fallen is playable as a 2 player stand-alone game, or can be combined with Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer for an expanded game with up to six players. With its 65 all-new cards for the Center Deck, the Return of the Fallen provides players with the ability to face the God Samael in a final battle to determine the fate of Vigil. It also includes a new Fate mechanic that can change the game with a single flip of a card.
Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer revolves around a Center Deck containing Heroes, Constructs, and Monsters. Players take turns recruiting Heroes or Constructs for their decks or defeating Monsters to earn honor and ultimate victory. Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer joins other deck-building games including Dominion, Thunderstone and Resident Evil and Fantasy Flights Living Card Games (Call of Cthuhlu, Warhammer Invasion and Game of Thrones) as a new category of games that continue to increase in popularity. These games combine complexity of combat-focused card game experience with the benefit of not having to chase powerful randomly distributed, blindly-packaged cards.
For those of you who haven't had the opportunity to be a part of the Ascension playtesting groups, I thought I would create a faux-expansion for you to play with until Return of the Fallen comes out (or, heck, even after that game comes out).

He has sent some of his best shapeshifters to infiltrate each of the 4 factions. Known as Traitors, these entities require you to return honor to the communal pool in exchange for their villainous...
