What's the best thing to buy next?** A: I would recommend Star Realms. Ascension is great, and the apprentice version is a wonderful intro. But the additional expansions seem to muddy up the rule set and I actually don't use them much. Star Realms is similar, has a great theme and a tighter set of rules. **Q: I am wondering are there cards in this game that I can't get in any full games/expansions?** A: I dont think there are any new cards in the Apprentice edition. But BoardGameGeek has a list of all the cards in the box. http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/145633/ascension-apprentice-edition **Q: Can this be played solo like with other Ascension titles?** A: It's just like any other ascension product just with a minimum number of cards.. As per product description "1-2 players, 20 minutes" **Q: Can this be used to make Ascension a 6 player game?** A: I bought only the Apprentice Edition. Do not have the full game. If the full game will handle 4 players out of the box then adding this set should get you to six. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars great two player game *by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2018* i started with the app and wanted the actual board game. I figured my wife is the only person I could probably get to play it so i got the apprentice version. Even though its like half the game as chronicles of the godslayer, it plays really well with two people. I saved like $30.For those who have no idea what this is, it's a great easy game to learn with a decent amount of strategy but definitely has an element of luck. deckbuilding is part of the gameplay so its not a trading card game where you collect your deck before hand in order to start a game. This really does have everything for two people.It takes less than 2 minutes to set up. There are tokens, cards, and a paper mat. You can play it anywhere, and its super easy to take with you. My wife and I usually take about 30 minutes to finish a game. I love complex, heavy strategy, deep, long board games. My wife likes simple 20 minute light strategy board games. We both love it. My wife just wished it was a different theme, something less fantasy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A fun 1v1 card-drafting game *by Z***Z on Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2015* Can't beat this for value. It makes me wish every CCG had a stripped-down $5 version that had just enough in it for a solid introduction. Cards are great quality and compatible with Ascension's, with the only difference being that some cards in this Apprentice Edition have colored borders to make them more distinguishable. The paper mat's all right, but having to utterly unfold it to read the rules is a minor annoyance. The score tokens are good and generic enough in look to warrant using them for other games (a selling point to me).The game is a bit narrow in scope, tending to reward one strategy over the rest. And there's only one monster, the Cultist. I'm not sure which expansions would best address these issues, but even played as-is, you'll get dozens of games out of it before it starts to feel samey. So it's done well to serve its purpose: introducing my group and I to Ascension. Quite fun and well worth it.Overall, I recommend it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect set to start playing Ascension *by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2016* My wife and I had started to play Ascension on our phones after hearing about it from a friend. We both enjoyed the digital game and thought this would be a low investment way of trying out the actual card game. We have a variety of games in the house and this one was extremely cheap compared to what we are usually expecting to pay for a functional two player game. It arrived quick and I was impressed by how little space it took up. The paper tokens aren't anything special and instructions are useful, but not anything to treasure, which is to be expected at that price point. The mechanics contained in this set of cards keeps play fairly simple and we were up and running very quickly. Ascension plays with a very good combo of luck of the draw, smart decision making and knowledge of what cards are available and their interactions. Thus experienced players will have some advantage, yet new players won't be left far behind. Since then we've bought more sets of Ascension but have decided to keep this set separate as a portable version we can easily take with us to the coffee shop or on an outing. I would highly recommend it as low investment into a great card game. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/2583950-ascension-apprentice-edition-game](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/2583950-ascension-apprentice-edition-game) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
