What is Arcs: Conflict & Collapse in the Reach
Arcs is a sharp, tactical space opera game set in a dark yet silly universe. Players represent officials from a distant, decaying and neglectful Empire who are now free to vie for dominance whether through battle, gathering scarce resources or diplomatic intrigue. Ready yourself for dramatic twists and turns as you launch into this galactic struggle.
A deck of cards in 4 suits with ranks from 1-7 (2-6 for fewer than 4 players) defines the action selection system. These cards are played in a trick-taking adjacent system to select actions, take the initiative and declare Ambitions. The 3 declared Ambitions are what will score in that deal. Timing is everything. Bad hands must be mitigated by careful card play and benefitting from other players' card play.
Battles are resolved quickly with the attacker choosing their level of risk. The defenders must be prepared with adequate defensive ships and cards in their tableau.
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. The base game may be played without the optional Leaders and Lore cards (for an easier teach) or with them for a richer, fuller and asymmetric game. It is also the core of the campaign game (requiring the Blighted Reach Expansion), which provides an epic, more thematic experience.

What the community says about Arcs: Conflict & Collapse in the Reach
I get why most people would not like the trick tacking mechanic but I find it very interesting in this kind of games. Also, the combat mechanic for me is one of the best, being able to choose between different kinds of dice depending on your strategy is just *cheff kiss*. It's been only one play in (2P) and I definitely want to play it straigh away after. I see it as one of those games that the more you play, the more you find out about it and get to love it even more.
Best for 4 players
Un juegazo, divertido y táctico como pocos. Si no te gustan los giros de guión puede ser frustrante, pero cuando se admite que no hay mano mala ni buena y que todos estamos en la mierda, el juego vuela y se vuelve super divertido y diferente a cualquier otro juego que, al menos, yo haya jugado.
Jugado con Raúl bloodtower , Gilber t que ganó y Omar
Impresionante. Un juegazo como la copa de un pino, original, duración ajustada, divertido,... el único pero, y por eso no le puedo dar el diez es que no tiene modo solitario.
Para mí de los mejores juegos que ha sacado últimamente. La mecánica de bazas para jugar y tener preferencia
It is not the game, it is me! Probably one of the most unforgiving games I have played, I am not agreeing with the complexityof the rules for the game, know how game proceeds and how it is played technically, does not really help much, to enjoy the game, I guess it is until, you know all the cards until you will start enjoying,playing and if you play with players, that need to understand everything at first play, good luck! I am not happy about some parts of topic, taking dead bodies as trophies, or have cards to massacre hostages, I dont know, if that makes for better game play at any game, s
I hope this is good was my blind purchase tried and it has a feeling of cosmic encounters with more deep, with a quacks of twilight imperium
