Arcs

Arcs is a fast-paced, tactical space opera for 2–4 players, set in a crumbling galactic empire where ambition reigns. As rival officials freed from imperial rule, players battle, negotiate, and gather resources in a darkly whimsical universe full of dramatic twists. Every decision matters in this compact, strategy-rich game of shifting power and opportunity.

At its core is a clever trick-taking-inspired card system that drives action selection, initiative, and scoring through declared Ambitions. Battles are quick and risky, with defenders relying on smart preparation. With stunning art, custom dice, and over 100 wooden pieces, Arcs offers flexible play—from streamlined sessions to deeper asymmetric gameplay with optional modules or the epic campaign expansion, Blighted Reach.
