## What is Aeon's End?

Randomized turn order, no shuffling, and multiple win and loss conditions make this a deck-building experience like no other!

“This is not the end of the world. That already happened. This is what is left: us, Gravehold, and the Nameless. For generations we have taken refuge in an ancient and haunted place. It has taken our mages an aeon to hone their craft, but they are ready... and they are lethal. The breaches, the very conduits through which the Nameless travel, have become our weapon.”
- Yaleesa Rhykk, Gravehold survivor

The situation is bleak. The final city - Gravehold - needs the power of the breach mages to hold back the Nameless. Join the fight, and maybe… just maybe, Gravehold will live to see another dawn.

Aeon’s End is a deck-building game where 1-4 mages fight cooperatively to defeat a Nameless nemesis. You begin with a starting deck of 10 cards. Each turn you play gems to gain aether, buy new gems and relics, learn new spells, and increase your casting potential by opening breaches. You can also play relics to give yourself or your allies a boost. Then prep spells to your breaches to be ready to cast them on your next turn.

What makes Aeon’s End unique is how it uses randomness. Unlike other deck-building games, you do not shuffle your deck when it runs out. The order in which you discard is preserved, so plan your discards carefully to set yourself up for later.

At the start of each round, the turn order deck is shuffled to determine the order of play. Will the nemesis go twice in a row, pushing back the mages’ defense? Will the mages get 4 turns in a row to set up for the coming onslaught? It can be hard to know what’s coming next when you are deep in the melee!

The breach mages of Aeon’s End are not just fighting for their own survival, but the survival of all of humanity. If the city of Gravehold is ever reduced to 0 life, the mages have lost and humanity is but a memory. Protect the city at all costs!

* What is included *

8 Breach Mages:
• Adelheim
• Brama
• Jian
• Kadir
• Lash
• Mist
• Phaedraxa
• Xaxos

Each Mage has a unique starting card and an ability that can be charged to use in the fight. For example, Kadir has a gem that heals any mage, and an ability to let any mage prep a lot of spells. Xaxos has a spell that reveals the top card of the turn order deck and an ability that helps allies charge their abilities.

You build your deck with player cards from the market. 3 gems, 2 relics, and 4 spells allow you to grow your powers to hold back the nemesis. The market is constructed from 27 unique gems, relics, and spells. Either take a randomly generated market, or build the perfect one yourself during setup.

4 Nameless Nemeses:
• Carapace Queen
• Crooked Mask
• Prince of Gluttons
• Rageborne

Each Nemesis plays differently with unique mechanics to keep even the most powerful breach mages on their toes. Rageborne lays on the damage in a frontal assault using its Strike Deck, whereas the Prince of Gluttons fights more of a war of attrition, devouring player cards from the market.

Aside from their unique mechanics, the Nemesis deck is created before each game from a combination of basic and nemesis-specific cards. You may encounter the same Nemesis many times, but it will never attack you in exactly the same way twice.

Expand your gameplay options with In App Purchase:
• Promo Pack 1 includes mage Xae from One Deck Dungeon, along with 3 digital exclusive player cards and 3 basic nemesis cards.
• The Nameless includes 2 nemeses, 1 mage, and 7 player cards.
• The Depths includes 1 nemesis, 3 mages, and 8 player cards.
• The New Age more than doubles the content in the core game, and introduces the Expedition system!

The last of humanity need your protection! Pick up the mantle, focus your breaches, and beat back the Nameless - We’re all counting on you!

Aeon's End is an officially licensed product of “Aeon's End” from Indie Boards and Cards and Action Phase Games.

### 5/5 — Beste Brettspielumsetzung

*2026-03-22*

Zu schade, dass es „nur“ die hier angebotene Version samt The New Age und den kleinen Erweiterungen gibt. Ich hätte gerne mehr Umsetzungen von Box 2, 4 und weiteren. Die Umsetzung ist phantastisch. Ich habe weit über 1.000 Partien gespielt und es wird nicht langweilig. Top!

### 5/5 — My favorite board game and app

*2026-01-17*

Love this game so much!  We enjoy the board game as a family on game nights. I love the app even more because it’s so easy to set up.   We have every board game expansion and once you’ve played them, it’s harder to set up random games.   With this app, it’s a breeze, and you can play anytime anywhere.  I love having a go to game for whenever I am waiting.

### 5/5 — Telephone

*2025-11-29, version 1.5*

Downloaded this recent update that brings the game to telephone (was iPad only). Absolutely fantastic. I always wanted to get into this one, though even though i have an iPad, I just don’t pick the iPad up much. 

This version however is great and after learning the game, I’m hooked. The portrait layout also just makes the game that bit more portable and easy to quickly pickup for a turn or six. Thankyou.

### 4/5 — La traduction française

*2025-11-02*

Jeu parfait sauf qu’il n’y a pas de français. La page d’accueil pourrait aussi s’améliorer, il est trop fouilli.

### 5/5 — 日本語対応してほしい

*2025-05-27*

面白いけど、日本語版がほしい。 また、日本版で出ている小箱拡張、独立拡張『終わりなき戦い』のキャラクターやネメシス、カードも有料の追加コンテンツでいいから出してほしいです。

### 1/5 — Only english Language

*2025-04-25*

Pls add also german Language ,then 5 Stars

### 5/5 — Been playing for years and love it!

*2024-06-13*

I’ve played the table top game, but find all the cards, shuffling, setup, and tokens to be a hassle.  Some folks LOVE setting up and manipulating this stuff, but the digital game is much easier and quicker, while retaining ALL the fun of the tabletop version.  A huge variety of party size, Nemeses, and cards to select keeps it fresh.  I’ve played hundreds of games and still love it.  Easy to play 1-4 characters as a single player and get them to work together.

### 5/5 — Одна из лучших игр в Аппстор

*2023-11-18*

Очень атмосферная и захватывающая игра с прекрасным саундтреком. Не жалко ни одного потраченного рубля. Дополнение с экспедициями просто шикарно! Выпускайте ещё дополнения!

### 4/5 — VF

*2023-01-12*

Mettez le jeu en français la traduction existe et quand l’extension guerre éternelle 
Pensez au client français

### 5/5 — Best Game!

*2022-09-11, version 1.4.3*

With the latest update, blightlord tainted jades are not working correctly.  They stay in the play area at the end of the turn.  They don’t destroy properly.  It is very frustrating.  Please fix!

Love playing my favorite board game anytime I want. I wish the undo button was a little more forgiving. There are times I hit the wrong option by mistake, and the next turn order card goes with no way to undo. I try to be more careful, but it’s still a bit frustrating. Still love the game though. Update: Love the expansion. This is my go to game! I never tire of playing it.
