Posted in: Card Games, Game Manufacturers, Gary Games, New Games, New Releases | Comments (0)
An Interplanar War Has Begun!
It is the Age of Man, a time without gods or magic. After a thousand years of peace and prosperity, the barrier that separates your world from the multiverse has been broken, and demonic forces threaten to destroy your home. But not all hope is lost: the benevolent gods of the Old Realms have also returned, bringing with them mighty heroes and powerful constructs that are yours to command. Only through your courage and leadership can the forces of light fight off the incoming hordes. Only by defeating the Fallen One can you save your world. Let the Ascension begin!
- Ascension™ is a fast-paced deckbuilding game designed by Magic™ Pro Tour champions Justin Gary, Rob Dougherty, and Brian Kibler.
- Enter a visionary fantasy world brought to life by the art of Eric Sabee.
- All the depth and replayability of a collectible card game in ONE box.
Contents:
- 200 cards
- 50 deluxe honor tokens
- Game board
- Rulebook
- Storage tray
When I saw this game at the GAMA Trade Show earlier this year I knew it was going to be one of the best new games of the year. If you like Dominion or Thunderstone, you’ll love Ascension.

The master of Ravenloft is having guests for dinner—and you are invited!
Posted in: Board Games, New Games, New Releases, Game Manufacturers, Wizards of the Coast (WotC) | Comments (0)
Tonight I looked through the ancient drawers of my personal library in search of one of the a grandest adventures I ever had the opportunity to run – Ravenloft. I found the notes from several sessions that we had run – The evil super-genius Strahd was able to enslave most of the party, with only Sheena Brighteyes narrowly rescuing the brave Dane IronFist, Ilian the Ranger (Paladin), Zauberer the Wizard & Dip Gazar aboard that black Nightmare she had wished for after catching a Almiraj earlier in her adventuring career. Such are the things great adventures are made of.
I checked my notes because today I had the opportunity to revisit Strahd’s Castle as I opened a copy of Ravenloft – the Board Game, and realized the adventure never finished. The party decided that a follow in the footsteps of the great wizard Mordenkainen as part of an adaptation of his great adventure, and never returned to deal with Strahd.
The master of Ravenloft is having guests for dinner—and you are invited!
Strahd is back – this time as part of the first D&D Boardgame – Ravenloft!
Evil lurks in the towers and dungeons of Castle Ravenloft, and only heroes of exceptional bravery can survive the horrors within. Designed for 1–5 players, this boardgame features multiple scenarios, challenging quests, and cooperative game play.
Castle Ravenloft includes the following components:
- 40 plastic heroes and monsters
- 13 sheets of interlocking cardstock dungeon tiles
- 200 encounter and treasure cards
- Rulebook
- Scenario book
- 20-sided die
I’m going to invite those brave warriors to join me once again to enter the vampires castle, to see if this time just maybe we can cooperate and finish the job we started some 27 years ago. I’d also invite you to visit Ravenloft yourself. This is one of those games that can create memories that will last a lifetime.
