![]() It was the worst experience I’ve had with it so far. Getting it out again I was enchanted by the production values, the gorgeous artwork, and was eager to try it again. The other day I finally decided to put my spare card sleeves to use and sleeve Arnak. ![]() I shoved Arnak in the cupboard hidden away. ![]() Then we got games like Dune Imperium, Everdell, and Brass Birmingham which hit the same notes in a much more satisfactory way. I could never achieve what I wanted and the game was over before it felt like it really started. I enjoyed it quite a bit but just found it a little unsatisfactory. I was intrigued when SU&SD previewed it last year and picked it up fairly soon after it was available. You know, I’ve been thinking the same thing. I'm curious what the big fans in the community have to say, and how people compare it to other Indiana Jones type games like Quest for El Dorado, Tikal, Tobago, Karuba none of which I have played. Maybe there is some big concept I am missing that is ruining the game for me. I haven't finalized my opinion of this game but it's not something I'm looking to go back and play anytime soon. I think there is a really fun game here, sans the racing aspect. Every move feels like an exercise in min/maxing because of the round tracker and the race mechanism. The worker placement never expands beyond 2 explorers, and there are only certain ways to get extra worker actions through cards. The deckbuilding is very minimal and it feels like you can almost win the game with no deck. I had really high expectations based on the almost universal praise for this game and it's ascent into the BGG top 100, but after playing it, I don't see anything special about it. There is also a fair amount of luck involved for such a Euro style game. The rules are fairly uncomplicated but the strategy seems like it has a steep learning curve and a beginner will never beat an experienced player. However, each player can only perform one action per round, which means that the rounds themselves are short, but each decision needs to be well thought out.ĭue to the large number of available actions, artefacts and equipment cards, the challenges are different in every game, which always invites the player to explore new strategies in this multiplayer title of the extra class.Lost Ruins of Arnak recently hit BGA and I learned the rules and have played around 10 games. Since actions also require the use of resources instead of workers, building a solid resource base is also crucial to one's success. Chance plays only a minor role due to the abundance of tactical possibilities offered on the game board. New worker actions themselves become available as players explore the island. ![]() In addition to familiar deck-building effects, playing cards in The Lost Ruins of Arnak can also be used to place workers. In a unique combination of deck building, worker placement and resource management, each expedition tries to be the first to uncover and use the secrets of the lost island to its own advantage.The decks of the individual players remain quite small throughout the game, so the inclusion of the right cards in the deck needs to be carefully considered. ![]() In The Lost Ruins of Arnak, you as the player guide your expeditionary troops against each other to a newly discovered island. Competing explorers have now been tasked with exploring the island: Venture into the depths of the jungle, find ancient artefacts and face the fearsome guardians of the ruins! On a distant island in the unknown vastness of the ocean, explorers have found traces of a long-gone civilisation. ![]()
