Watch “How to play the board game - Ascendia,” a board game review for Ascendia: Seasons of Thargos from Jenders Gaming on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Jenders Gaming on YouTube:

Ascendia - Seasons of Thargos is a captivating board game set in the hidden Valley of Ascendia, located in the fantasy World of Thargos. As an ill-equipped adventurer, you must navigate through the ever-changing seasons, collecting raw materials, crafting essential items, and trading with merchants while facing the looming challenges of winter. Survival is key, as each season brings new dangers and opportunities. From encountering wild animals to dealing with merchants, players must strategize their actions wisely. As the cold months approach, fearsome creatures descend from the mountain peaks, adding an extra layer of peril. While players compete for the prestigious title of a future leader of Ascendia, cooperation may sometimes be necessary to ensure survival. Achievements earned throughout the game grant Renown, and those who endure all four seasons and withstand the hardships of winter will total their points to determine the victor. The game unfolds on a hex-based board that flips to a winter side when the season changes. Players draw events from season-specific decks, introducing dynamic gameplay elements that keep each session fresh and unpredictable. Encounters with wild beasts and formidable creatures require strategic dice rolls, influenced by character skills and equipment that can be improved through trading and crafting. Blending competition with moments of collaboration, Ascendia - Seasons of Thargos offers a rich and immersive experience where adaptability, resource management, and survival instincts pave the path to victory.

About Ascendia: Seasons of Thargos, from BoardGameGeek:

Ascendia - Seasons of Thargos is a semi-cooperative, table top role-playing game that requires you to set out as an ill-equipped adventurer in the hidden Valley of Ascendia, in the fantasy World of Thargos. Collect raw materials, craft, trade and interact with wild animals and merchants to improve your equipment and skills, whilst striving to survive the approaching winter. But beware as each season brings its own challenges and some more fearsome creatures, often pushed by hunger, venture down from the mountain peaks into the valley. You compete and cooperate for survival for the ultimate goal as a future leader of Ascendia. Encounters with wild beasts and fell creatures require special dice rolls, modified by equipment and character skills that you can improve as the game progresses through trading and crafting. You explore a Hex-based board that flips over to a winter side when that season comes. During the game you accumulate Renown points by performing various tasks and interacting with the different mechanics of the game. Once you have at least one Renown token you can decide to apply in front of the inhabitants of the village for the title of Lord of Ascendia. If you are successful, you have won over the villagers and are elected as Lord of Ascendia, winning the game. -description from designer
