About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! Check out this promo to spice up your Aeon's End: the Thieving Spirit Promo Cards! This little gem, released in 2018 via Kickstarter, comes with a pack of 5 spell cards and 1 randomizer card to add that extra flavor to your cooperative games. If you're already into the deck-building system and the thrill of defending the last city in Aeon's End, these cards are a must-have.
The deal is that these spell cards, identified by IDs P018 to P023, add new tactical options to your arsenal. The "Thieving Spirit" spell, for instance, costs 5 aether and, when cast, deals 4 damage while also returning 1 aether to you. This means more versatility when managing your hand and deck, allowing for more creative combos and even sharper resource management. The base game's complexity is already moderate (a 3/5 weight), and these cards add a bit more depth without overwhelming the experience, keeping the focus on cooperation and the variable powers of the mages.
For those unfamiliar with Aeon's End, the idea is that you and your friends take on the roles of powerful mages who must protect the last human city from hordes of monsters. Each mage has unique abilities, and you build your deck from scratch, adding new spell and relic cards to become stronger. The game features a variable phase order that can change, requiring quick thinking and adaptation. This promo, though small, adds that special touch that long-time fans appreciate, keeping the experience fresh and challenging. It's the kind of content that makes us want to collect everything!
