Imagine you are a magic apprentice in a world where all hope rests on a single bastion: Gravehold. You grew up on the legends of the Breach Mages—figures like the wise Brama, the prodigy Dezmodia, the tactical Mist, the craftsman Malastar, and the reckless Xaxos. They are your idols, but to join their ranks, you must undergo rigorous ordeals and learn that being a Breach Mage essentially means being willing to sacrifice everything to protect the city against the constant threat of the Nameless.
Aeon's End: Legacy takes this experience to a whole new level. Unlike the base game, you don't start with pre-made heroes; you evolve. The Legacy system transforms the journey into something visceral, where your decisions shape the story and the game state permanently. You'll upgrade your deck and resource pool, but the tension is constant: the city is under attack, and every mistake can be costly. The blend of fantasy and science fiction creates a unique atmosphere of desperation and heroism.
The game focuses heavily on cooperation and hand management. You and your friends will need to coordinate every move, as phase orders can vary and player powers are distinct. It's a tactical challenge where deck building isn't just about grabbing the best card, but about how to survive the enemy's next turn. The best part? You don't need to have played the original Aeon's End to dive into this campaign. It's an epic entry point for those who love cooperative games with progression, where the feeling of character growth is rewarding, but the danger is always real. Get ready, because the ordeal is about to begin and Gravehold is counting on you!

Do I need the original Aeon's End to play?
No! Legacy is standalone and contains everything you need to start the campaign from scratch.
Is the game too complex for beginners?
It has a medium weight (2.87), so it requires attention to the rules, but the campaign guides players gradually.
Can I play it solo?
Absolutely! It has excellent solo rules, making it a great choice for those who enjoy individual challenges.
How long does each game take?
Sessions usually last between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on the scenario's complexity.
What does 'Legacy' mean in this game?
It means you'll make permanent changes to the components (like adding stickers or opening envelopes), creating a unique story.
Is the game text-heavy?
Yes, there is high language dependence, so if you aren't fluent in the version's language, you'll need a translation.
