About the game
Welcome back to Scadrial, the ash-choked world of Brandon Sanderson's epic Mistborn series! Well of Ascension -- based on the 2nd book of the series -- is set after the fall of the powerful Lord Ruler. In the vacuum of his absense, a fragile political alliance maintains power in Luthadel and the stakes couldn't be higher for the world's Mistborn. As in the book, this expansion reveals new powers and secrets for players to master. Alloy cards, new metals, and a powerful "coinshot" ability will all present new opportunities and challenges for players going head-to-head. And for those who would rather form a crew, a new solo/co-op mode lets you replay the climactic battle of the book, the Siege of Luthadel. Designed to refresh and enhance your Mistborn gameplay, Well of Ascension drops you directly into the danger facing Scadrial as cosmic forces vie for control of the world. —description from the publisher

The catalogue lists Mistborn: The Well of Ascension for ages 13 and up.
