  • 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!

    Classic game at this point

    A 2020 game that still plays great. A mid-weight game in complexity with small elements of deck-building and multi-use cards that is manageable enough for it to be a family game in our house. The base game is very good but the expansions makes this game a classic. The solo mode is also excellent. Highly recommended.

    Good solo play

    I have only played it solo, but it moves smoothly and is fun. It is a bit of a table hog, however.

    Still waiting

    I’d love to give a review but due to a delivery snafu, where they arrived in Winnipeg, then immediately travelled back to Ontario, I’m still waiting for my packages….it’s been 8 days since it came and went…
