(cough) Any fan of game should give it a try!

(Sorry, the game art is not an excuse of not playing)

I just manage to lure a friend into this by telling him it is free now. Next thing he says he is immersed even he has not finished the tutorial! (The tutorial is one of the best out there, btw)

I dropped him 2 tips:

Flow Control; and
Central Row Management

and he says he needs time to practice before facing fellow human.

Expect to see him soon in Ascension Anonymous...

Apologies that my games have been erratic, both in time when I actually play and the quality of my play. Curry mutton is murdering me in our game - my strategy was confused, couldn't develop a power game and my deck could not get going (badly needs filtering, better flow).

I lost 76-61. A beating, although I was surprised that it wasn't much, much worse!

Good lord! To my surprise, managed to turn around the game and beat jnt325 86-79. I think it was down to the last few turns and killing the Wind Tyrant 3 honour and power - allows you to keep buying). Also, towards the end, I maximised off-board purchases. Still surprised because it was looking ominous mid-game due to jnt325's Mechana strategy.

I love this game and now I'm addicted never bought it sense I was afraid it would be something dumb and confusing, but wow! I'm certainly gonna spend my money on the expansions for the cards and to show my support.

Now you are painting a picture of me bullying newbies, which I just want to play with fellow enthusiasts ...

I downloaded Ascension after it went free the other day and hadn't really played it as its tutorial put me off. When I did eventually grind through it, I found a fun and short game that I so enjoyed that I downloaded the expansions.

My one sentence tutorial of Ascension for fellow newbies: triangle points lets you get cards, circle points lets you kill cards and the player with the most star points is the winner. Now go play.

What does Promo Pack 1 do? So far I have only encountered the Rat King and his obvious effect, but don't seem to have seen any of the other cards or enhancements in that set.

Check the card library and you'll see all of the cards in the promo pack. There are some fun cards in there.
