About the game

Aeon's End: Legacy of Gravehold is a cooperative deck-and-bag-building legacy game for 1-4 players, continuing the Aeon's End line with a branching narrative campaign. After each session, players earn experience to spend on permanent enhancement stickers, growing more powerful as the nemeses they face grow stronger too. With more than twice the mages and nemeses of previous base sets, it offers a deep, evolving campaign experience.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli's editors love how Legacy of Gravehold deepens the already excellent Aeon's End system with meaningful legacy progression and branching story paths. The escalating nemesis difficulty keeps tension high even as players grow stronger, and the sheer volume of mages and enemies means huge variety across the campaign. A must-play for existing Aeon's End fans looking for a bigger commitment.

What we like

  • Deep legacy campaign with branching narrative paths.
  • Escalating nemesis difficulty keeps every battle meaningful.
  • More mages and nemeses than any previous Aeon's End set.
  • Strong deck/bag-building system rewards strategic play.

Keep in mind

  • Legacy format means components get permanently altered.
  • Requires a stable group willing to commit to a full campaign.
  • Newcomers to Aeon's End may want to start with the base game first.

Who it's for

Best for ages 14+ cooperative deckbuilding fans playing in a committed group of 1-4 through a full campaign.
