New cards, new mechanics and new ways to play!
Looking to expand your Neverrift collection and discover new ways to play? Then it's time to take a look at the game's expansion packs!
In this blog series, we'll explore each expansion, what it brings to the game and why it might be worth adding to your collection.
For Part 1, we're starting with Ancient Relics, an expansion that introduces 36 new cards and two interesting gameplay mechanics.
What's inside Ancient Relics?
Ancient Relics contains 36 new non-foil cards, distributed across all factions:
- 6 cards for each faction.
- 6 additional neutral cards.
This gives players new options when building their decks, experimenting with combinations and developing their strategies. The expansion is also compatible with the Neverrift Starter Kit.
But the real highlights are the two new mechanics: Ancestry and Excavate!
Discover the new mechanics
Ancestry – Play with your faction in mind
Ancestry adds an additional effect to a card if the last card played belonged to the same faction.
This makes the order in which you play your cards more important. By playing cards from the same faction consecutively, you can activate additional effects and get more out of your strategy.
Excavate – Draw more, choose wisely
Excavate allows you to draw 3 cards and discard 2.
This gives you more control over your hand, letting you see additional cards and decide which ones are worth keeping. It's a useful mechanic when you're looking for specific cards or trying to find better options for your next move.
Is Ancient Relics worth it?
If you enjoy experimenting with different strategies, Ancient Relics brings some interesting additions to the game.
Ancestry rewards players who carefully plan their card sequences, while Excavate offers more flexibility when managing their hands.
With 36 new cards and two new mechanics, this expansion gives both collectors and players something new to explore.
Final thoughts
Ancient Relics is a great addition for anyone looking to explore more of what Neverrift has to offer.
Whether you're interested in activating Ancestry effects, making the most of Excavate or simply expanding your collection, there's plenty to discover.
And this is just the beginning!
