Short Description

Explore jungles, gather artifacts, and find your way to the Lost Ruins of Arnak!

Players lead rival expeditions to a newly discovered island. Through a unique combination of worker placement and deckbuilding, each expedition attempts to uncover the lost island's secrets.

Detailed Overview

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, worker placement and resource management in a game of exploration and discovery:

• In addition to traditional deckbuilder effects, cards can also be used to place workers.
• New worker actions become available as players explore the island.
• Some actions require resources instead of workers -- building a solid resource base will be essential.
• Limited to one action per turn, players must decide which action will benefit them the most.
• Decks are small, and randomness 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 setup for each game will be unique, encouraging players to explore new strategies to meet the challenge.
