KeyForge
Age Of Ascension
Fantasy Flight |
Age of Ascension is the second set in the Keyforge line and a companion to the first set, Call of Archons. Each is equally a stand-alone competitive pack. Keyforge is a unique card game of tactics and non stop action.
publisher description
KeyForge is a two-player card game in which each player takes the role of an Archon, and leads that Archon’s deck against their opponent. A player’s deck represents a team that is attempting to gain Æmber and forge keys. The first player to gather three keys is able to unlock a Vault and win the game. The defining feature of KeyForge is that no two decks are alike. This is not a trading card game—you cannot craft a deck. Rather, each deck must remain as it is. Every deck in existence is unique!
