About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to dive headfirst into another epic duel with KeyForge: Age of Ascension – Archon Deck! This gem is your gateway to the second set of cards in the KeyForge line, featuring a completely unique deck, ready for battle. Forget customization; here, what matters is the surprise and strategy that each pre-built deck offers you. Each player needs their own Archon Deck to enter the Forge Arena and prove who's boss. Prepare to manage your hand with mastery, use and abuse 'Take That' mechanics to hinder your opponent, and immerse yourself in this universe of fantasy and fighting. It's a card game that demands attention but rewards with a different experience each game, thanks to its unique deck nature. If you enjoy quick duels with twists and turns, without the headache of building your deck from scratch, this expansion is a treat. Asmodee (Galápagos) brought this marvel to Brazil in August 2019, and while the game is in Portuguese, the language dependency on the cards is high, so be prepared for total immersion in the original language or rely on a good translation to not miss any strategic details.
