The Great Houses of Italy are competing for power. Political rivalries are everywhere, and your enemies are willing to sacrifice anything for reputation, land, wealth, or new technologies. The goal of Ausonia is to accumulate influence to win the game.



Ausonia is a deck-builder set in the Shardhunters universe. It introduces an innovative resource system where resources are used for acquiring new cards and for using the abilities of cards you already own. The raise mechanic also provides a way to use your weaker cards to your advantage.



You can get Ausonia with all relevant stretch goals for only ₤19 (~$24 USD). For ₤30 (about $38 USD) you can get the base game with one of the expansions, or go all-in with the base game, both expansions, all unlocked stretch goals, and the Collector's Box for ₤39 (about $50 USD).

Check out the campaign before it ends on Thursday, May 14, 2020.

About Ausonia

Ausonia is a deck-builder for 1 to 4 players. All players begin with a 12-card Starter Deck.

Throughout the game, players can cull weaker cards and gain more powerful cards from the Favour or Power Deck.

Magical gems are used as a resource, both for taking new cards and for activating cards you already own.



Cards can be paired to make persistent resources, allowing players to grow in wealth and in value at the same time.

Ausonia offers a solo play mode, and a Solo Campaign Mode is one of the stretch goals.







Expansions

Two expansions are also available during this campaign, Remnants of War and Masters of Shadow.

In Masters of Shadow the base game is extended with Leader Cards, new Favour Cards and Mission Cards to seize powerful Artifacts.



In Remnants of War the base game is enhanced by 3 new Guilds, and Defense, Infiltration and Event cards.







The Collectors Box

Those who pledge at the Master Tier and get the base game with both expansions will receive the Collectors Box.



The box is big enough to hold sleeved cards and also contains cardboard separators.
