A two-player game of base Ascension played to, say, 60 Honor might take 20 minutes in real life. In the excellent iOS app, you can knock out a three-player game with AI opponents in less than 10 minutes. Ascension Tactics requires a lot more thought, as players plot how to move their minis around the map, often rushing to stand near control points but not any closer, out of fear that their minis will get murdered off the board.
