Have you ever wondered what it would be like to play Briscola… in space? Arcs , the latest work by celebrated game designer Cole Wehrle ( Root , Oath ), combines the charm of traditional mechanics with a deeply innovative strategic experience. With an unmistakable touch, Wehrle offers us a space game that combines tension, tactics and unpredictability.

A 4X with an Extra Gear

Arcs is often described as a 4X, but here the exploration gives way to a more compact and direct gameplay. Your goal will be to take control of alien races, fight, conquer and accumulate points… often at the expense of friendships at the table!

The core mechanic of Arcs is based on trick-taking , similar to Briscola or more modern games like The Crew . Each card you play allows you to perform specific actions, but resource management and choosing the right moment to act can turn the tide of the game in a matter of moments.

Direct Interaction and Constant Tension

Arcs is not a game for those who like to "grow their own garden" in peace. Every move has a direct impact on other players, and the dice-based combat system introduces a dose of risk and chaos that keeps the adrenaline pumping. Wehrle cleverly uses randomness to create tension, but balances it with a design that rewards strategy and adaptability.

Components and Design

Like every Leder Games product, Arcs stands out for its high-quality components and art design by Kyle Ferrin. The graphics recall the world of Root , but with a less elaborate and more functional style. The optional miniatures are an attractive addition, even if not essential for the gameplay.

Why Choose Arcs?

Arcs offers fast and intense games, but behind its apparent simplicity lies a depth that requires experience and planning. It is the perfect game for those who seek tactical challenges and do not fear chaos. However, the highly competitive nature and element of chance make it less suitable for those who prefer total control over events.
