■ Product Introduction

[Deep themes that get to the heart of the story]

This expansion tells the story of two sides of the war. As a boy genius becomes the youngest warrior ever to risk his life for New Gravehold, and as Xaxos's daughter returns twisted from the Void, hope and despair collide. New dangers lurk in the shadows, posing a threat that cannot be stopped by sheer force alone.

[Rich game content]

The contents are very comprehensive and include:

• New Breach Mages : Mazra (with Research Breach Marker) and Qu (with Form Token)
• New Nemesis : The Wanderer (with Divider)
• Player Cards : 49 (New Gems, Relics, Spells, and Treasures)
• Nemesis cards : 17 (including new minions)
• Randomizer cards : 10
• Treasure cards : 10

[A new, strategically rich gameplay experience]

This expansion adds innovative strategic elements to the existing Aeon's End cooperative deck-building system. New Breach Mages Mazra and Qu each have their own unique abilities and traits, offering players entirely new tactical options. Mazra is a research-focused character who enters the battle armed with knowledge and preparation, while Qu's transformational abilities unlock a unique playstyle, allowing her to adapt tactics to suit the situation.

The new Nemesis, The Wanderer, poses a new threat that cannot be dealt with through traditional brute force. This enemy is depicted as a danger lurking in the shadows, with unique mechanics that make it impossible to defeat through sheer force alone. Players will need to rethink their existing strategies and take a different approach to defeat him.

[Infinitely expanding possibilities]

This expansion adds even more variety to the existing Aeon's End game, significantly increasing replayability. New card combinations allow players to try different strategies each time, ensuring a fresh experience even for seasoned players. Multiple mechanics, including card drafting, deck building, cooperative gameplay, hand management, variable phase order, and variable player abilities, are cleverly combined to create a highly strategic gameplay experience.
