Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn是一个可扩展的双人纸牌游戏，玩家扮演Phoenixborns，神的神，以及世界的保护者这三种角色。这些人物是他们文明的伟大救世主。在他们出现之前，人类就被像嵌合体这样的怪物所困扰，这些怪物夺走了他们的土地，迫使他们住在封闭的城市里。当凤凰出生的时候，他们击退了嵌合体，并释放了人类再次接管的土地。

但是和平的时代是短暂的。一个预言出现了，如果一个凤凰能吸收足够多的其他人的灰烬，他们就会提升为全神，并掌控这个世界。这一点，以及人类对土地的贪婪，推动了灰烬之战。伟大的城市现在互相争斗，每一个城市都有一个凤凰，你将决定谁将崛起，谁将化为灰烬。

In Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn, a two-player expandable card game, players take on the roles of Phoenixborns, demi-gods and protectors of this world. These characters are the great saviors of their civilizations. Before they came into existence, the humans were plagued by monsters like chimeras that took away their lands and forced them to live in walled-off cities. When the Phoenixborns came, they fought off the chimeras and freed the lands for humans to take over once again.

But the time of peace was short-lived. A prophecy arose that if one Phoenixborn was able to absorb enough Ashes of others, they would ascend into full gods and take mastery over this world. This, as well as humans' greed for land, fueled the War of Ashes. The great cities now fight among each other, each one of them with a Phoenixborn at its helm, and you will decide who will rise and who will fall to ashes.
