As the last greater dragon falls, a seismic wave of Ether unfolds from The Tear, infusing the Tower's very stone with pulsating elemental magic. Like a beacon, it calls out to humans, monsters, and far worse — and darkness descends on Vale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Siege, you play as an Ether Mage defending the Tower against a relentless assault. An expanded hand lets you build two Action Sets per turn, while new Structure Cards unlock powerful abilities to deploy in the heat of battle. The result is a significantly harder, more complex challenge that builds on everything the base game established — gut-wrenching hand management pushed to its absolute limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSiege also introduces the Return to Etchinstone variant, which flips the experience entirely: you take on the role of the monsters, pursuing victory at all costs as you attempt to reclaim your lost home through the Tower's Ether rift.
