About the game
The Ascension Location Pack introduces a new card type to the Ascension Deck Building game. Locations can be shuffled into the center deck of any Ascension game. When they are revealed in a center row slot, they they permanently modify that slot to fundamentally change gameplay. Locations can change the cost of cards as well as create special events when a card in that slot is acquired or defeated. This promo pack is a great addition to any Ascension set. This pack of thirteen cards contains doubles of Cetra's Shrine, Path Of Trials, Stone Circle, Hedron Sanctum, Rift's Edge and Arha Dojo plus a rules card.
