About the game
Ashes Ascendancy Starter Set is a card game from Plaid Hat Games, designed by Nick Conley (2026). It plays 1–2 players in 30–60 minutes, for ages 14+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 8.5 out of 10 and call it medium (2.9 / 5 weight).
Ashes Ascendancy is a thrilling customizable card battler. Players use pre-constructed decks or build their own, then battle head-to-head against each other, or solo/cooperatively against a dangerous Dragonborn!
The new Ashes Ascendancy Starter Set has everything a new player needs to get started playing Ashes, as well as brand-new content for the returning player!
The Ashes Ascendancy Starter Set provides two pre-constructed player decks and two sets of dice, letting players immediately jump into the action! Two players can fight each other head-to-head with these decks, or team up to fight a Dragonborn. This starter set has all the rules and components needed for either mode, plus the first-ever Dragonborn to appear in the game: Scatha Kalani! The cards contained in this box serve as the perfect foundation for your Ashes collection!
