This Fall will see the release of the dexterity game Ascending Empires: Zenith Edition from WizKids. This new edition essentially provides a deluxe treatment for the flicking game. Ascending Empires: Zenith Edition is for one to four players, ages 10+, plays in around 75 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $139.99 when it hits stores in September.
About the game:
Thousands of years have passed since humans first settled the Andromeda Galaxy. Wars that raged over resources and ancient alien artifacts seemed neverending. Now, a powerful relic known as the Star-Key has been discovered and has activated massive warp gates. The doors have opened to countless galaxies full of new planets and advanced technologies. It’s time to deploy your ships and build your empire!
Ascending Empires: Zenith Edition updates and expands the acclaimed game of flicking starships to distant planets to discover ancient relics, construct cities and starbases, and develop new technologies. Perfectly blending strategic empire-building with fast and fun gameplay, this new edition also upgrades the starfield game board to neoprene mats and includes over 100 highly detailed plastic miniatures for a premium gaming experience!
The Zenith Edition offers the ability to play using the original Classic Rules or the updated New Era Rules. Both rulesets feature lightning-quick turns, with actions flowing from one to the next, encouraging you to rapidly adapt your strategy in a dynamic dance of galactic dominance.
The New Era Rules add different elements to your journey, such as starbases and specialty ships. In addition, randomized modular technology trees allow for over 200 unique combinations that turn each play into an incredible new adventure!
Lead your fleet through the warp gates on a journey to new galaxies and conquer anyone who stands in your way! Gain Victory Points (VP) by occupying planets, building structures, developing technologies, attacking enemies, and completing missions. Expand your empire and leave your mark on the universe!
