About the game
Get ready to dive into the world of Ascension: Dreamscape, a standalone expansion in the acclaimed deck-building series! Here, you and your friends (or just yourself, if you prefer!) spend Runes to power up your decks with increasingly potent cards. The gameplay is pure adrenaline: the card market changes constantly, forcing you to think fast and adapt your strategy each round. Starting with a basic little deck, the goal is clear: accumulate the maximum Honor Points, whether by buying cool new cards or defeating monsters that appear along the way.

Dreamscape introduces a game-changer: the 'Insight' resource. With it, you unlock exclusive 'Dreamscape' cards, adding an extra layer of strategy and possibilities. Furthermore, the Dreamscape itself acts as a portal to incredible visions, powerful heroes, and constructs that can turn the tide in your favor. And if you enjoy playing with a group, know that this game can be combined with other titles in the Ascension series, expanding the fun to up to six players. It's an invitation to explore new tactics and conquer the dream world!
