- Our take
- BGG rates it 8.12 from 2,111 ratings, above the base game. BGG owners recommend it and say they will not play without it.
- What you need first
- Needs the base game (It's a Wonderful World); the Ascension cards are shuffled in or left out as you choose.
- What it adds
- A separate deck of Ascension cards with corruption cards, pair scoring and bigger point values, plus an extra Oceania empire card and components for more players.
- What it fixes
- Gives a higher scoring ceiling and a corruption trade-off that BGG owners say makes games more varied.
