Taking up space should mean you pay more . That is until you realize men take up more space than women <| sep |> It ' s called checking the kicks . Just YouTube checking leg kicks and they ' ll show you some of the techniques <| sep |> As crazy as it sounds , it ' s important to know the decks . I would personally start with the base game and only the base game , that way you can learn the deck . I can recall almost every card in the starter deck by memory alone . This is important because you ' ll know when to purchase certain cards at specific times because you know what ' s still left in the deck and what ' s already been taken . In Dominion it ' s all about planning your turns several turns in advance , but in Ascension it ' s more about planning what to buy based on what ' s still in the deck . Many cards combo off of each other incredibly , and when you start mixing and matching the other 10 or so decks together you ' ll get an almost endless amount of replay value .
