How to play the game Arcs?

Game Setup

Chaque joueur choisit une faction galactique avec ses propres capacités et prend :

  • son plateau personnel avec pistes de ressources et objectifs,
  • une main de cartes action multi-usages,
  • des navires en bois et agents.

    Le plateau principal représente l’espace du Reach, avec des zones à contrôler et des ressources à exploiter.

Gameplay outline

Une partie d’Arcs se joue en plusieurs chapitres (ou manches). À chaque chapitre :

  1. Choisissez et jouez des cartes action
    Les cartes ont différentes suites (Administration, Aggression, Construction, Mobilisation) qui déterminent les types d’actions que vous pouvez effectuer (taxer, produire, déplacer des navires, attaquer, construire, etc.).

    La mécanique tourne autour d’un système similaire aux plis : le joueur qui mène définit le type d’action pour ce tour, et les autres doivent suivre ou répondre autrement selon les règles.
  2. Résolvez les actions et les batailles
    Vos cartes permettent d’obtenir des ressources, de déplacer et engager vos flottes, ou d’influencer d’autres systèmes.

    Le combat utilise des dés personnalisés : différents types de dés offrent des options tactiques — attaques précises, actions à risque ou pillages rapides.
  3. Déclarez et accomplissez des ambitions
    Chaque chapitre active des objectifs (ambitions) variés (par exemple accumuler des ressources spécifiques ou capturer des territoires).

    Atteindre ces ambitions rapporte des points de victoire et des avantages stratégiques.

Ce cycle d’action se répète jusqu’à ce que tous les chapitres soient joués et que les ambitions aient été disputées.

Win/Loss Condition

At the end of the game, each player tallies their victory pointsaccumulated by fulfilling ambitions (dominant resources, trophies, captives, or particular specializations).

The player with the most pointswins the game, symbolizing their political, economic, and military dominance in the Reach.

Our Tips for Winning

  • Play your hand with precision

    Every action card is valuable: think in terms of tactical combosrather than isolated actions.

  • Anticipate ambitions

    Some ambitions pay off more if achieved later in the game: sometimes it's better to pass on an early objective to secure a more lucrative one later.

  • Manage your resources and fleets wisely

    Balance resource accumulation with the maintenance of your forces: a well-placed fleet can both defend your gains and challenge those of your opponents.
