About the Game

Full Ascension set required for this expansion

Ascension: Darkness Unleashed features Dark Energy Shards, a new take on the Energy Shard Treasure cards introduced in Ascension: Rise of Vigil. Like an Energy Shard, a Dark Energy Shard allows a player to draw a new card while providing one energy to power up Energize cards. In addition, the Fate effect allows each player to banish a card in his discard pile whenever a Dark Energy Shard is placed in the center row.

This set also features new Energize cards, including Heroes, Constructs, and Monsters, that transform into new beings or more powerful versions of their original selves.

Other cards, such as the monster "Erabus, the Exiled," are transformed and added to your hand when you defeat them in the center row. At the end of the game, you score Honor for whichever version of the card is currently active in your deck.

Note: Ascension Center Deck Sets include every center deck card from the original set, along with unique card types, rules, and components needed to play. However, these sets do not include starting cards & the always available cards, honor tokens, a game board, or the original box and therefore require an appropriate base set which contain those necessary game components.
