Arcs (EN)

Description

Long ago, the Reach thrived. But our ancestors failed us, and I fear we're no better. As we wrestle over the galaxy's edge, can we break the cycle? Can we build something new?

Arcs is a sharp sci-fi strategy game for 2–4 players, set in a dark yet silly universe. Ready yourself for dramatic twists and turns as you launch into this galactic struggle.

• Seize the initiative: Take actions with multi-use cards. Copy the leader, pivot to new tactics, or take the initiative for the next round. Timing is everything.
• Declare ambitions: In each game, you define the objectives that everyone competes for to win.
• Crush your foes: Crush your navy for battle, plan your strategy with three kinds of dice, then roll them all at once to resolve the battle in a flash.

Each game contains a hundred wooden ships and agents, 18 custom engraved dice, a beautiful six-panel board, and tons of cards with over 60 pieces of unique art.
