Ascension, on the iOs version is Combining the graphic design of collectible card games with the fast pace and accessibility of a board game from Gary Games. Chronicle of the Godslayer is a godsend to fans of card-based gaming.
Designed by a crack team of collectible card game veterans, including Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour Champions Justin Gary, Rob Dougherty, and Brian Kibler. Their aim was to create a game that appealed equally to board game players, collectible card game junkies, and non-gamers alike. I just want to play cards.
Both players start with a deck of basic cards that provide Runes, used to recruit cards into their deck, and Power, used to defeat creatures and gain Honor. A standard two-player round begins with a pool of 60 Honor; once it's depleted the game ends, and the player with the largest total of captured cards plus Honor wins.
Playing face-to-face with another human on the iPad is where Ascension truly shines. Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer is one damn fine deck-building game. Via iTunes link
