Ascending Empires Now in Stores

From Z-Man Games comes the Ian Cooper designed Ascending Empires and it’s just hitting store shelves. The info currently out is fairly scarce but here’s what the Z-Man website has to say:

Humanity has been at each other’s throats since time immemorial. Now, in another galaxy, humans wage war amongst themselves again, but this time, with the aid of alien technology found on other planets.

Ascending Empires offers a nice mixture of building, exploring, and development, along with combat via a simple dexterity element. Players flick their starships into orbits around planets to defend or attack them or surround enemy ships to destroy them.

Ascending Empires is sure to sate the desire for a space empire building game that plays simply yet deeply.

There is early word that there might be some issues with some warping with the boards; a mark of death for a flicking element to any game…
