About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey board game enthusiasts! Ready for another dose of Aeon's End? It's time to dive into 'Aeon's End: The New Age,' a standalone expansion that brings an awesome new feature to the universe we already love: the Expedition system. Imagine being able to replay all the content you already own from Aeon's End in a shorter, yet super immersive campaign format. It's like binging your favorite series, but with cards and lots of monsters to defeat!
In this mode, each game you play rewards you with brand-new treasures and player cards that will supercharge your mages. You'll feel your characters growing more and more powerful, ready to face any challenge. But of course, it wouldn't be Aeon's End without a fitting challenge, right? The Nemeses, those tough bosses that give you a hard time, also grow stronger with each confrontation. It's a magical arms race where you need to evolve quickly to avoid becoming monster chow.
The coolest part is that 'The New Age' is fully compatible with other standalone games in the Aeon's End line. Know what that means? Total freedom to mix and match everything! Want to use a Mage from one game with a Nemesis from another and a treasure from a third expansion? Go for it! The possibilities are endless and ensure that each campaign is a unique and surprising experience. If you're already a fan, it's a treat. If you're just starting, it's a great entry point into one of the best cooperative deck-builders on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
What is the ideal player count for Aeon's End: The New Age?
The game is designed for 1 to 4 players and works great at all counts. For a more controlled and focused experience, playing solo or with two players is excellent. For more chaos and coordination, 3 or 4 players are also great!
Is Aeon's End: The New Age a complete game, or do I need another one to play?
It's a standalone expansion, meaning you can play it by itself! However, it's fully compatible with other Aeon's End games, so you can mix and match content if you own other boxes.
How complex is the game? Is it easy to learn?
It has a medium complexity (BGG weight of 2.91), so it's not a game for absolute beginners. There's a learning curve to understand the no-shuffle deck-building mechanics and Nemesis rules, but after a few rounds, it flows well.
How long does a game of Aeon's End: The New Age take?
A single game typically lasts between 60 and 60 minutes, depending on the player count and familiarity with the game. Expedition campaigns consist of several shorter individual games.
What are the main components of the game?
You'll find many cards (Mages, Nemeses, Treasures, Gems, Spells, Artifacts), tokens for tracking health and other effects, player and Nemesis mats, and the rulebook. It's a very card-centric game!
Who is Aeon's End: The New Age recommended for?
It's highly recommended for fans of cooperative games, deck-building, and those who enjoy a good tactical challenge. If you like a story that unfolds over multiple games and the idea of customizing your deck without shuffling, this is your game!
