I did appreciate the smaller box that came with the sleeves, though—it's just right for all the cards and the honor tokens, but no space for the board. Speaking of the board: while it's attractive and sturdy, it is unessential to the game: You need a draw and discard pile, six slots for the center row, and and three spaces for the "always available" cards.
The board simply shows the spaces and has a turn summary printed on it. The "honor tokens" are plastic jewels, in red and colorless, which are used to keep score in addition to the values printed on some of the cards.
They're a fun touch, and because of the way the scoring is designed you do need them or some other way to keep score. The artwork on the cards is hand-drawn and has a sketchier look.
You can see examples of the style throughout the Ascension website. The cards themselves are very easy to read, though, with a clearly stated cost for purchasing cards or defeating the monsters. Each player starts with eight Apprentices worth one Rune each and two Militia worth one Power each. Runes are used to purchase Hero and Construct cards, and Power is used to battle Monsters.
Each player shuffles their own set of cards and draws five to form a hand. On the side of the deck are three types of cards that are always available: Mystics, which provide two Runes each; Heavy Infantry, worth two Power each; and the Cultist—an easy to defeat bad guy which rewards you one Honor. The rest of the cards are shuffled together to form a draw pile, and the top six are dealt out to form the center row.
On each turn, you play cards from your hand to gain Runes, Power and Honor. Honor is just worth points. Cards that you buy are placed in your discard pile, as well as any Hero cards you've played this turn. Events might allow a player to banish cards from their hand, acquire cards for free, or even change a hero's faction. Events appeared in the Storm of Souls and Immortal Heroes expansions.
Soul Gems , from the Immortal Heroes expansion, are random single-use copies of heroes that are drawn directly into a player's hand as a result of certain effects. If they are not used the turn they appear, they are banished. Treasure cards are cards that can become attached to any hero, monster, or construct in the center row.
When that card is acquired or defeated by a player, that player also acquires all its associated treasure cards for no additional cost. Along with dreams, there will also be nightmares, and amazingly there's also a die being introduced for the first time in Ascension history that will have some involvement in unlocking powerful delirium abilities on certain heroes.
I'm getting excited just typing this section. I missed out on Valley of the Ancients last year, but there's no conceivable way that I'm going to let Delirium pass me by.

Tinners' Trail Review View All. Ascension Expansions Storm of Souls The first major expansion, Storm of Souls retains a lot of the original's theme and features, but adds a few new mechanics to spice things up.
Realms Unraveled Realms Unraveled is the first expansion to play around with the four factions of the game: Enlightened, Lifebound, Mechana and Void. Dawn of Champions The main difference with this version of the game is that each player starts off with a character card representing a major hero from one of the four factions.
Dreamscape Ascension's fifth major expansion introduces a new purchasing mechanic, allowing players to buy cards from their personal Dreamscape by paying Insight, a new resource shown in an orange oval. War of Shadows This expansion was actually the first one I bought, though I'd played the game digitally and with friends beforehand. Gift of the Elements Unlike many of the other expansions, Gift of the Elements lacks a single defining core mechanic.
