Ascendancy (Kickstarter – Core Game Pledge)

Ascendancy is the ultimate worker placement meets 4x strategy experience.

Lead 1 of many asymmetric houses of royal lineage, each vying for the crown. Reclaim your family name through a hero’s (or villain’s) 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. Almost everything (and everyone) in the world of Ascendancy can be upgraded. Reward your loyalists, slay would-be usurpers, and promote outcasts to lords. Complete scenarios to unlock legacy heirlooms, pass them down to your next of kin, and build a limitless empire of your own design.
