Fearteiler<p>Insgesamt hat mir das Wochenende gut gefallen. Es war neben dem Spielen wieder gut, Menschen zu sehen, die man nun schon das dritte Mal gesehen hat.<br>Ich fahre zu so etwas trotz alledem immer wieder gerne zu so etwas, damit ich Spiele spielen kann. Leider ist dieses Wochenende einiges ungespielt: <a href="https://nrw.social/tags/arcs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arcs</span></a> , <a href="https://nrw.social/tags/foodchainmagnate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foodchainmagnate</span></a> oder <a href="https://nrw.social/tags/throughtheages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>throughtheages</span></a> <br>Ich drücke mir die Daumen, dass es demnächst wieder zu so spannenden und schönen Spielen kommen wird. 11/11</p>

QueenAfyn | Jade Neoma<p>All the Boardgames and TTRPGs I have now. (that are any good) favourite boardgame at the moment is definitely Arcs and I so wanna play more of the campaign version (the bigger box). I shouldn't have adult money, bottom shelf of camera gear and recording equipment coming soon. and this will have to be reworked when Ice unlimited and Yield: Battle for Osha arrive in a few weeks (hopefully) oh and I have no idea where I'll store the arcs roll mat I just ordered.<br><a href="https://vt.social/tags/BoardGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoardGames</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/Arcs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arcs</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a></p>
Eric 🍄<p>We played Arcs in a board game café today and I ordered it as soon as we got back. Part of it might be a desire for revenge after losing with 12 to 53... 😁<br>The pic shows my fleet being rebuilt after a catastrophic colonisation attempt, right at the end of the game. Which netted me exactly 0 points but made me feel better 😂<br>The learning conditions weren't optimal, reading the rules and googling our questions in a rather noisy basement room and we made more than one mistake. But we had a great time and we could see the depth and the possibilities, especially with 3 or 4 players. <br><a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/arcs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arcs</span></a> <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/boardgame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boardgame</span></a></p>
SteveArcs Blight Reach, solo 3 handed<br> <br> So anyone who followed me elsewhere knows that I have some big problems with Arcs as a game, but there's still something that is really interesting buried at the core of it that I can't get over. This is like x5 true of the campaign game, which does this intriguing endogenous table versioning via its different fates, varied starting points from last game, and dynamics between them. It's quite an interesting design space and it makes Arcs the "can't quit you" game that I keep poking at despite being repulsed by a lot of other elements about the game that don't fit with my gaming sensibilities or that I genuinely think are bad design and development aspects. I ran a solo 3 hander because I enjoy playing with the texture of the different developing different board situations. While Arcs isn't like great this way, weirdly it doesn't play that badly since the game is so insanely chaotic and tactical that you can't really make long term planning decisions very well even if you knew the other player's cards.<br> <br> In this game, Partisan, Caretaker, and Founder created a tableau that was quite different than other campaign games I've either played in earnest or soloed---there was no incumbent empire fate that was looking to supercharge the empire, so while the partisan took a little of that role, it led to a board state with few incentives to keep the empire besides some convenience... and Founder immediately wants to bail and gut the empire as best as they can. The game definitely exposed the part of the fates system that a friend has detailed several times; a lot of the tenor, though not the specifics, of the game is set before and between games by the fate choice. This sets it in complete contrast with Wehrle's other design, Oath, which I consider a true masterpiece in this space that does a lot of what this game is doing but a lot better.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/arcsboardgame?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arcsboardgame</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/arcs?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arcs</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ledergames?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledergames</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/colewehrle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#colewehrle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/boardgames?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boardgames</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tabletopgames?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tabletopgames</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/boardgamegeek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boardgamegeek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bgg?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bgg</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tabletop?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tabletop</a>

Nolan Moore<p>This Black (of space) Friday, I’m getting a solo game of <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Arcs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arcs</span></a> in to learn it and prepare for an upcoming game night. The ruleset is by Shipple over on BGG (<a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3378766/page/1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">boardgamegeek.com/thread/33787</span><span class="invisible">66/page/1</span></a>) and is designed for solo v 2 bots or 2 players v 1 bot. It felt a bit strong at first, but play evened out over time.</p><p>So I’ve got the rules down (mostly…), and now it’s time to learn the teach!<br><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/boardgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boardgames</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ledergames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ledergames</span></a></p>

bignose<p>Today's <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/BoardGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoardGames</span></a> afternoon was devoted to my first 4-player game of <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/Arcs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arcs</span></a>.</p><p>The hype is accurate!

I want to say total garbage, but I’ll be fair. I spent three hours with bad hands, and one AP prone player. I ended with seven points. The winner 44. If I’d understood a few things more and the game was an hour long it would have been better. As is? I’ll never play it again. Pass.</p>
Derek Guder (he/him)<p>Managed to get <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Arcs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arcs</span></a> from <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://tabletop.social/@LederGames" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>LederGames</span></a></span> on the table last night.</p><p>It is _exceedingly_ clever (which makes me want to love it) but I also got my ass kicked real hard and felt like the leader ran away with it.</p><p>The full game is likely to open that up more, but it definitely helped starting with the stripped down "just the core mechanic" scope. It takes some time to wrap your mind around it.</p><p>Intrigued for more, need to keep exploring it and adding in the additional rules.</p>
