About the game

What is Aeon's End: The Descent?

"In her youth, Brama had a dream. A dream of a new city. A new home. Safe from the Nameless forever. But only terror lurks in the depths..." Aeon's End: The Descent is a standalone experience within the exciting world of Aeon's End, utilizing the familiar shuffle-free deck-building game system with a replayable narrative experience about the founding of Gravehold! Discover new mages and nemeses, along with the all-new "Friends & Foes" module, all of which can be played independently, while also being compatible with all existing Aeon's End content. —description from the publisher
