## Description
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.

It's an invitation to explore new tactics and conquer the dream world!
