About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an epic adventure in Aeon's End: Legacy of Gravehold, the series' second foray into the legacy game universe! If you love diving headfirst into narratives that unfold with each play, with choices that truly matter and change the course of history, this game is for you. With every battle won, your mages gain experience that can be used to enhance their cards and abilities, turning them into true engines of destruction. And don't be fooled, because the enemies also get tougher with each encounter!

This edition brings a whole arsenal of brand-new mages and nemeses, doubling the variety compared to previous Aeon's End titles. The story is deeper, with branching paths inviting you to explore different facets of the plot. It's a cooperative game, so team communication and strategy are essential to overcome the challenges Gravehold throws at you.

But be warned: the legacy experience means changes are permanent. Prepare to stick on stickers, perhaps tear up some cards, and watch your world change irreversibly. The language dependency is high, so having the game in your native language or relying on good translations is crucial to not miss any detail of this fantastic saga. If you're looking for a cooperative challenge with progression and an engaging story, Aeon's End: Legacy of Gravehold will keep you hooked from start to finish.
