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.
Ich fahre zu so etwas trotz alledem immer wieder gerne zu so etwas, damit ich Spiele spielen kann. Leider ist dieses Wochenende einiges ungespielt: #arcs , #foodchainmagnate oder #throughtheages
Ich drücke mir die Daumen, dass es demnächst wieder zu so spannenden und schönen Spielen kommen wird. 11/11
Arcs Blight Reach, solo 3 handed
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.
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.

This Black (of space) Friday, I’m getting a solo game of #Arcs in to learn it and prepare for an upcoming game night. The ruleset is by Shipple over on BGG (https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3378766/page/1) 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.
So I’ve got the rules down (mostly…), and now it’s time to learn the teach!

Learnt to play ARCS this evening. Very promising game. I think I'm going to like this one a lot!

Games I’ve played over the last few days… #BoardGames #BrettSpiele @brettspiele 1: #Arcs. 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.
Managed to get #Arcs from @LederGames on the table last night.
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.
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.
Intrigued for more, need to keep exploring it and adding in the additional rules.

Després de gairebé un mes sense jugar-hi perquè el meu fill s'ha viciat al #SpiritIsland, per fi hem acabat la campanya del #Arcs , Pirate contra Pathfinder, qmb l'imperi pràcticament destruït. Molt bona experiència del mode campanya, definitivament els rols fan el joc molt més interessant, val la pena emprar-los fins i tot en el mode bàsic. #boardgames #jocsdetaula
We are raw-dogging an entire campaign of Arcs: The Blighted Reach in one day. Will be live-tooting how it goes:
