  • On an uninhabited island in uncharted seas, explorers have found traces of a great civilization. Now you will lead an expedition to explore the island, find lost artifacts, and face fearsome guardians, all in a quest to learn the island's secrets.

    Lost Ruins of Arnak combines deck-building and worker placement in a game of exploration, resource management, and discovery. In addition to traditional deck-builder effects, cards can also be used to place workers, and new worker actions become available as players explore the island. Some of these actions require resources instead of workers, so building a solid resource base will be essential. You are limited to only one action per turn, so make your choice carefully... what action will benefit you most now? And what can you afford to do later... assuming someone else doesn't take the action first!?

    Decks are small, and randomness in the game is heavily mitigated by the wealth of tactical decisions offered on the game board. With a variety of worker actions, artifacts, and equipment cards, the set-up for each game will be unique, encouraging players to explore new strategies to meet the challenge.

    Discover the Lost Ruins of Arnak!

    Gorgeous production with just enough going on

    The theme of Arnak lends itself to great artwork, but overall it could be re-themed as something totally different. Gameplay itself is pretty easy to understand and the variety of artifacts and items is really what makes the deck building work. The deck building in this one isn't really per the classic mechanic since you won't cycle through your deck very often throughout the gameplay.

    Early turns are very quick with limited potential actions but then later turns have a significant ramp up in tension and decision making. I think this one earns the hype as a fun game that is involved enough to hold your attention, but doesn't overstay its welcome. When you head into the last turn, it always feels like the end game crept up very quickly!

    I kind of wish the "overcoming guardians" action felt more like battling or subduing the guardian vs just paying them resources to leave you alone. Great game!
