One Full Descent purchase unlocks the remaining two depths, Short Descent, and Daily Descent. No ads or subscriptions. BUILD A PLAN TOGETHER Protect a teammate, expose an opening, and spend the party’s Momentum when it matters. One shared deck gives you three heroes to coordinate on every turn. SHAPE EACH EXPEDITION Choose card rewards, visit markets, upgrade favorites, and remove cards that no longer fit.
