Since 2024, Arcs: The Blighted Reach Expansion has captivated fans of dice rolling and trick-taking with its very heavy complexity design.
How It Plays
Area Movement

Campaign / Battle Card Driven
Special cards trigger events and drive the action forward — each card played can shift the whole narrative.

Players talk, bargain, and make deals with each other — your persuasion skills matter as much as your strategy.

Turn Order: Claim Action
You grab turn order by claiming a specific action — being first has its perks if you plan for it.
