Aeon's End
A co-op deck-builder that never shuffles, so every mistake comes back on schedule.
What it is
You are Breach Mages defending the city of Gravehold from the Nameless. When your deck runs out, you flip the discard pile instead of shuffling, so the order you discard in matters. Turn order comes from a small deck of its own, which keeps everyone guessing. It suits careful players who enjoy a hard co-op and being wrong in useful ways.
What we love
- No shuffling means you can plan your draws several turns ahead.
- Each mage and enemy calls for a different strategy.
- Losses feel fair, because the mistakes are usually your own.
Honest trade-offs
- It is very hard. One reviewer lost their first 15 games.
- A bloated deck or a mistimed spell gets punished quickly.
- Early on it can feel like other co-op deck-builders.
