About the game
Fires burn atop the ruined citadel on Hellknight Hill, sending plumes of red smoke into the air that could be a call for help. Within the old keep, strange invaders from a distant land, mysterious long-lost ruins, and the machinations of a shadowy organization await discovery. Something dire is building toward an apocalyptic event, and it falls to your characters to stop the end before it begins. This expansion includes some of the most iconic characters from the famous Age of Ashes Adventure Path for use in the Pathfinder Arena game system. You will find Nketiah, the half-elf from Ekujae's tribe as a new hero. Meanwhile, the skeletal Hellcrown, the Charau-Ka, Belmazog, and the Dragonshard Guardian will be hiding in the Arena. Age of Ashes enhances the Core Set’s replayability by including a new hero (Nketiah) and new monsters (Skeletal Hellcrown, Charau-Ka, Belmazog, Dragonshard Golem). They all come from the Age of Ashes adventure path, the first released for Pathfinder 2nd edition. It means that this item is the best option to combine Pathfinder Arena’s unique game mechanics with the feeling coming from Paizo’s most famous sagas. —description from the publisher

The listed playing time for Pathfinder Arena: Age of Ashes is 60–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Pathfinder Arena: Age of Ashes for ages 12 and up.
