Ascendent: Super Intelligence

The AI race is on. You have five turns to push the world toward superintelligence, and the world will not make it easy.

ASCENDANT is a fast, tactical card game built for landscape iPhone. Each turn you draft cards, place them across four regions, and get Intelligence, Power and Chaos climb toward their targets.

PLAY SMART, NOT JUST BIG • Draft every turn: you are offered more cards than you can keep, so every pick matters. • Stack cards that share tags, such as Energy, Research, Social and Cyber, for powerful boosts. • Every region has its own effect and its own breaking point. Learn them and use them. • Chaos is a target too. You need some of it, just not too much in one place. • Use each card's passive or active skill at the right moment

SURVIVE THE CRISES Financial crashes, talent shortages, energy crunches, sanctions, arms races and more reshape the rules mid-game. Read the crisis, adapt your hand, and choose the cards that turn a disaster into an advantage. 14 crises, from mild to harsh.

CLIMB THE ESCALATION LADDER 11 Escalation levels start gentle and get brutal. Targets rise, crises multiply, junk cards clog your deck, and at the top a single collapse can end everything. Win a level to open the next.

UNLOCK A DEEPER DECK Begin with 30 cards and earn 18 more: one for each of the first ten levels you clear, plus eight special cards for bold feats, such as winning with a region left in ruins or with a mountain of Intelligence. 48 cards in all, each with its own illustrated art.

EASY TO LEARN A guided five-turn tutorial teaches the whole game. One card, one idea per turn, ending in your first win.
