Ascension: Alliances

About this expansion

Ascension: Alliances is a team-based multiplayer deck-building game for 4-8 players, released in 2017. It presents a new way to play the Ascension deck-building game by pairing players into alliances and setting them against opposing teams.

This format changes the focus from individual play to coordinated team competition. Players join forces with a partner, creating an alliance that can be strengthened throughout the game. Together, the teams take on each other in a dedicated multiplayer experience.

A central feature of Ascension: Alliances is the introduction of Banners. These are a new card type created specifically for this format, giving alliances additional ways to enhance their strength during play.

• Team-based multiplayer play for 4-8 players
• Pairs of players form opposing alliances
• Banners provide further enhancements for an alliance
• Permanent advantages can be gained over the opposition

Banners do more than add another card type to the Ascension experience. They help develop the power of an alliance and can deliver permanent advantages over the opposing team, making them an important part of this new format.

Whether you are looking for a fresh multiplayer approach or want to experience Ascension through team play, Ascension: Alliances builds its identity around cooperation, opposing alliances, and lasting improvements. Its 4-8 player format makes it suited to larger groups seeking a shared deck-building challenge.
