Introduction

Congratulations, you are now a demigod!   You are immortal, and far beyond the petty concerns of man and beast.  Unfortunately, you have plenty of petty concerns of your own now.  See, there are a lot of demigods out there.... a lot. And every last one wants the same thing - to hang with the big dogs, the real Gods.  In order to do that, you must ascend to godhood.  Simple, right?  Well, not really.  In order to become a full fledged member of the God Squad, you have to have worshipers, thousands of worshipers.  And you have to perform miracles, and choose a theme, and an avatar... and, well, the Gods know what else.  But, the reward of godhood is ultimate power, and what's curing a few famines and droughts compared to that?

Ascension is a card game about the quest to become a God.  Each player represents a demigod - a being somewhere between mortal and divine.  The game can be played with as few as 2 players or as many as you can fit around the table.  Rome wasn't built in a day, and godhood isn't achieved in an afternoon.  Progress towards godhood is maintained between games, and you can bring your favorite demigod back to play with over and over.  Develop rivalries and alliances, gain new powers, expand the ranks of your followers, and push to become the first true God in your neighborhood.
