With "The Ancients," you'll find new spells, relics, and even a fearsome new Nemesis, The Wanderer, to test your defensive skills. Plus, there are brand-new player cards, randomizer cards to spice up your games, and treasure cards to reward your efforts. The expansion includes everything numbered from TA-001 to TA-086, ensuring you know exactly what you're adding to your Aeon's End universe.

If you're already a fan of Aeon's End and looking for more options to expand your adventures, "The Ancients" is a perfect fit. It integrates seamlessly with the base game, offering more strategies, more enemies, and more hours of cooperative fun. It's the right choice for those who want to keep the challenge high and explore new combinations of mages and strategies against the threats lurking in the world of Aeon's End.
