Rookies Ascended is a fast-paced tactical board game for 2-4 players. The goal? Be the first to reach 4 Kill Points. To get there, you’ll need to gear up, outmanoeuvre your rivals, and survive brutal Boss encounters that require cooperation. Until they don't.

Players earn Kill Points which provide various rewards, such as ascending to a new class, gaining more dice, or unlocking additional Gear slots. The first player to reach 4 Kill Points wins the game.

Your story begins here!

You, a Rookie adventurer sipping hot grog in a cozy tavern, are listening to an old bard’s tale of The Pit—a legendary area where only the most cunning survive. To prove yourself worthy, you’ll need to gear up fast: grab your Funky Bucket helmet, pull on your Slimy Dragon Slaying Socks, and unsheathe the Blade of Blunder. Don’t linger too long, because other greedy Rookies are already on the move. In this conquest, every upgrade you find could just make you a bigger target.

When a Boss's health bar drops, loyalty evaporates. Why shield a friend when you can trigger your Ascended Ability to ensure they take the brunt of the attack? Clear your path to land the final blow and snag the loot. Whether you're sniping a kill from an "ally" or charging them head-on. Remember, in The Pit, the monster in front of you is rarely as dangerous as the friend sitting next to you.

Don’t trust anyone and start Clashing!
