Arcs — Deluxe

Arcs is a fast, tactical space-opera board game set in a dark yet slightly absurd universe. Players take on the role of representatives of a distant, crumbling empire, now free to fight for supremacy — through battle, gathering scarce resources or diplomatic intrigue. A deck of cards in four suits drives the action-selection system, played through a trick-taking-like mechanic to choose actions, seize the initiative and declare Ambitions. Each box contains a hundred wooden ships and agents, 18 engraved dice, a beautiful six-sector board and over 60 unique illustrations.
