Ashes comes back if @PlaidHatGames & @teamcovenant get 1,000 pre-orders for this relaunch. I'm not impartial here... I want this back. So I've backed at the link below, but if you're a fan (or just Ashes-curious), let me gab a little in this thread. 1/7 https://teamcovenant.com/product/ashes-rise-phoenixborn-1-5-reborn-product-subscription https://twitter.com/teamcovenant/status/1291541859463041026
The wonderful thing is that it's not just coming back, it's been improved. Ashes was my favorite card dueling styled game, but as it grew, so did its ideas (and it had GREAT ideas), but the rules and card text needed tightening to avoid some complex timing conflicts. 2/7
The first thing you are paying for in this new release, is a 1.5 upgrade kit that replaces around 30% of the original card pool. If you have original Ashes, this will give you the new rules and the upgraded cards. I'm excited to see the adjustments and re-balances here. 3/7
But what if you've never played? What then?! Well, you can pick up and start enjoying the original game now, and Plaid Hat has the expansions on half price from their store. (you'd also need the core box, which they sell as well). https://www.plaidhatgames.com/store/ 4/7
Maybe you're only curious about the game, and not sure if you want to dive in? Makes sense! If you'd like to see how the game is played, see my tutorial here: , and then join Luke and I for a full play through: 5/7
I can't talk about Ashes, and not mention the art, by the wonderful @fdasuarezart - and look at the incredibly diverse and inclusive cast of characters you can create when the production team makes the effort. Who wouldn't want their game worlds to be this full? 6/7
So yeah, I'm over the moon about this possible return - and hey, if I can get some of you interested, so you can discover this game too AND we can all have Ashes reborn, well, I'd be a fool not to try.
This is not a paid ad - I'm just a very passionate fan. 7/7

And I'd be an idiot to make this thread and not highlight the incredible world-building, rules-designing and passion-fueled @IsaacOnEarth who made it all possible & is also involved in this rebirth of Ashes.

I'm so bad at threads! There's also all kinds of information on the rebirth of Ashes here (including a sweet teaser trailer) https://www.plaidhatgames.com/news/2020/08/06/ashes-reborn/
