About The West: Ascendant
The West: Ascendant, which combines set collection and hand management with a multiple scoring avenues, is the second card game set in the world of The North: Provenance. Two players take turns acquiring unique Facilities that are then used to acquire new cards and to carry out a variety of different in-game scoring opportunities. In more detail, during the game, players take turns acquiring Facility cards and playing the cards they've acquired several ways. Game play is driven by the turn sequence card, which is passed back and forth throughout the game. As the game is played, players lose points, acquire new cards for their hand or Zone (play area), and score points at the end of the game for the cards in their Zone. Additionally, players lose points at the end of the game for unused Facility cards in their hand.
