Aeon's End – The Cooperative Deck-Building Game Against the Nemeses

Humanity is on the brink of extinction. Will you be its last line of defense?

In Aeon's End, you play as Breach Mages, the last protectors of the underground city of Gravehold. The outside world has been overrun by "Nemesis", monstrous creatures from another dimension. To win, you'll need to coordinate your spells, stabilize your breaches, and optimize your deck to defeat the enemy before the city falls.

The goal of the game? Reduce the Nemesis's hit points to zero or survive the depletion of their attack deck without Gravehold being destroyed.

A Revolutionary Deckbuilding Mechanic

Aeon's End stands out from all its competitors (Dominion, Star Realms) in two major ways:

• No Shuffling: This is the game's signature. When your draw pile is empty, you simply flip your discard pile. The order in which you play your cards determines the order in which they will return. Planning becomes surgical.

• Random Turn Order: A "Turn Order" deck of cards determines who plays (players or Nemesis). You never know if you'll be able to heal an ally before the boss unleashes its next devastating attack. This creates constant tension.

The Pillars of Gameplay:

• Breaches: Your spells are not cast immediately. You must first "prepare" them on more or less stable breaches. This requires you to anticipate your turns in advance.

• The Common Market: At the start of the game, you choose 9 cards (Gems, Relics, Spells) that will form the supply for the entire session. Each market configuration requires a different strategy.

• Unique Nemeses: Each boss has its own rules, its own deck, and its own minions. Defeating the "Croaking Queen" will be of no help against the "Mask of Death".

Why is Aeon's End an indispensable experience?

• Difficulty and Reward: The game is known to be difficult. Each victory is savored as a true tactical achievement.

• True Cooperation: Unlike other games, mutual aid is complete. You can give energy to others, stabilize their breaches, or take damage for them.

• Dark Immersion: The post-apocalyptic universe and the monster illustrations create a very successful end-of-the-world atmosphere.

• Evolutive: The content of the core box is already immense, but the system allows for expansions to vary the fun indefinitely.
