Be ye brave or be ye foolish, the race to reach the cursed treasure of the Golden Isles is a perilous one. The waters are home to ancient horrors. On the islands, monsters stalk the caves and marshes. But, the true terror of the Golden Isles haunts the mists and the storms – the cursed crew of the Crimson Askara!

Ascension: Curse of the Golden Isles returns players to the Severed Seas, as they venture to recruit Heroes, build mighty Constructs, and raid their opponents' Treasure as they vie to gather the most Honor before the game ends!

Along with the classic gameplay mechanics seen throughout Ascension's ten year history, Curse of the Golden Isle introduces a new gameplay mechanic: Cursed Treasure. Players that collect pairs of Cursed Treasure tokens may use them to gain valuable Runes, Power, and more!

But, beware! The ghostly crew of the Crimson Askara is also sailing the Severed Seas, spending eternity to reclaim these lost treasures and wreak havoc on your noble crew! Can you reach the cursed treasure and gain its bounty before your opponents and the ghastly pirates aboard the Crimson Askara!? Only clever deckbuilding and cunning decisions will aid you in this latest adventure on the Severed Seas!

The shards have awoken, their twisted voices whispering into the minds of the Shard Masters, stoking the flames of war with every word.

Shards of Infinity: Into the Horizon continues the deck-building battles seen in previous Shards of Infinity sets, with players seeking a new destiny for a universe overcome by the power of the mighty shards.

Two new gameplay mechanisms are featured in this set: Destinies and the evil Ingeminex. Destinies allow players to spend valuable Mastery to gain an incredible advantage during gameplay. The Ingeminex are a new source of tension that seek to harm all players, but can be defeated with a well-timed use of power.

This set concludes the current storyline told throughout the Shards of Infinity adventure and paves the way for an untold future!

Into the Horizon contains 60 new cards for Shards of Infinity:

30 Destinies cards.
5 Ingeminex cards.
25 center deck cards.

Designed as an introduction for new players looking to get into the game, Ascension: Eternal replaces the earlier Ascension: Apprentice Edition. The Eternal set includes everything two players need to play the game, as opposed to the standard four-player format for most Ascension sets. It features all of the core rules sets for Ascension.

Ascension is a deck-building game in which players spend Runes to acquire more powerful cards for their deck, while spending Power to defeat monsters and gain Honor. Gameplay is similar to other deck-building games, with the player adding cards to his deck by purchasing them from a central deck, which has the top six cards revealed and available for purchase. When cards are removed, they are replaced with a new one from the top of the deck. Victory points are earned in three ways: first, each card purchased is worth one or more victory points; second, victory points can be gained by defeating monsters with a power resource featured on several of the cards; and third, some cards give victory points directly each time they are played.
