Ascension: Realms Unraveled

Players build personal decks by acquiring cards from a shared central pool and cycling purchases into their discard to be reshuffled into future draws. Creatures appear in the common pool and can be defeated for victory points and benefits such as deck-purging effects or banishing cards from the pool. New multi-faction heroes and a “Multi‑Unite” mechanic reward playing several heroes of the same faction, while a Transform ability lets players convert cards into upgraded versions over the course of the game. The game ends when all victory points are claimed or the shared deck is exhausted; it supports 2–4 players standalone (with solitaire rules) and can expand to accommodate more players when combined with other sets.
