![]() ![]() The cost to change a die is that you must discard a card from your hand or the top of your deck. So the problem became how little I cared about what I rolled. The issue isn’t the randomness, however, because there is a side action that is always available to you to change dice to whatever you need them to be. ![]() The core set comes with six different phoenixborn to choose from, each with a preconstructed deck. But my main takeaway after a lot of games with the core set was that the dice-as-resources was just a major downfall of Ashes. And preconstructed decks to get you off and running without putting in a lot of effort. Six playable characters with four different types of magic between them. The core set provides, undoubtedly, a lot of content. If you buy the Ashes: Reborn core set you will likely find yourself in that pattern. The pattern is often the same, a spike in interest that trails off pretty quickly. I have also dipped a toe into Flesh and Blood, Ashes, Lightseekers, Star Wars Destiny, Netrunner, Doomtown… probably others I’ve just completely forgotten about. For my money, it’s the best-designed game in the world. I’ve played a ton of Magic: The Gathering. I am a sucker for 1-versus-1 dueling games. Each Phoenixborn can play cards to their spell board and units to the battlefield. This continues until a phoenixborn has taken damage equal to its health. Players then draw back up to five cards and reroll their dice and prepare for the next round. Players continue taking main and side actions until both players pass consecutively for their main action. There are a few units with a special unit guard ability that allows them to jump in front of this type of attack. If you attack a unit directly, in most cases that damage will just happen to the unit. Any unblocked units damage the phoenixborn and any defended units do damage to the blocker. If you are attacking a phoenixborn, the defending player can have any of their units block any of your units. When you attack you can either choose one unit to attack another unit directly or any number of units to attack your opponent’s phoenixborn. Attacking is always your main action for the turn though. ![]() There are special icons on each card to designate whether playing/activating it is a main or side action. On your turn, you can take one main action and one side action.
