Well, folks, my local shop "Derium's CCGs", finally got my Storm of Souls order in. I'll be picking it up this afternoon and I'll give a little report if any are interested.

You're sure you won't just return it a couple of days later ... ?

Well, my initial impression from simply looking through the new cards is sort of "meh", so so. There are a few additions to the gameplay. I'll read through the rules tonight and get a game or two in tomorrow with my wife and report back.

On a side note: My shop gives a 25% off retail discount for any "board" game you order through him. So for these Ascensions I basically got them sleeved for free. I got Chronicle and SoS and they gave me 450 sleeves. Got some really nice Ultra Pros, black with matte backs.

Storm of Souls has:

-New art on the Heavy Infantry, Mystics, Initiates, and Militia

-New 'fate' mechanism which is a special effect that happens when certain card hit one of the 6 drafting spots. This is new if you've only played Chronicles of the Godslayer but not if you've played Return of the Fallen where the mechanism was introduced.

-Monsters with a new 'trophy' mechanism which when a creature is killed, it's put in front of you and you can use it for a special ability at the time of your choosing.

-A cultist-like monster called a Fanatic that uses the new trophy mechanism that everyone can kill, however you can't constantly kill it. You may not kill it if you already have one as a trophy. The trophy effect is linked to event cards.

-Event cards are shuffled into the central deck and when one is revealed it doesn't go in the drafting area but a new slot for events. There is an event associated with each faction (including monsters) that has a different global effect and a different trophy effect. When you cash in your Fanatic trophy, you will get the effect based on the event card in play.


I stole this from a forum post @ BGG. After looking at the rest of the cards closer, I see a lot more interaction, and it somewhat makes me want to make my own custom portal deck from CoGS and SoS. There is some exciting stuff in here.
