3D Printed Skulls and Sails Coins - mostly useless, but I loved the coin design
Playing at Gen Con 2019
Ascension: Skulls & Sails box cover
The super hero of this game on top, each faction's ship construct on bottom
Here are the rest of miscellaneous type cards... It's pretty random, like that single Plunder card or that United hero... Should have took more effort on these
New Raid cards on top (Black Scale is the best card in the game). Treasure related cards in the bottom (Storm Serpent and Energyneer is really strong)... Also last mech construct is NOT treasure related, accidents
The rest of Monster
We use components I painted from Dreadfleet to make the experience more immersive!  We keep the ship tokens that come with Ascension Skulls and Sails in our personal play areas to keep track of Crew values.

Overview

The Age of Sail has come to New Vigil. The tropical lands that surround the Valley of the Ancients are up for grabs, with gold enough to make yourself king, but also the legendary Crystals of Command: an artifact rumored to give the wearer power to control the land, the seas, and the skies.

In Ascension: Skulls and Sails, players familiar with Ascension will continue to recruit powerful heroes and constructs and defeat monsters as they vie to collect the most honor. However, in addition to using runes and power to control the game, players will use a new resource, crew, to move their ship around the board map. Cast off around the board to gain an advantage over your opponents...or to challenge, Thukal, The Kraken!

And what pirate adventure would be complete without raiding and treasure? Players can use the new Raid ability to capture valuable treasure cards from their opponents.

Take command of your ship and join the adventure. Find gold and glory on the Severed Seas!
