Ascendancy. 4X meets worker placement.
We've seen the rise of deck building meets worker placement but 4x? How do you feel about that? Is it something that you'd like? Is it something that people are wanting in the first place? Can the combination of these mechanics hit home in a meaningful way?

I'm breaking down my thoughts on Ascendancy after some hands on experience with the prototype.
Thanks for watching!
