Arcs - Official How to Play Video

The competitive scene for this game is gonna be top notch.

Thanks this video helped me learn how to play. For what it’s worth, when I’m teaching others I teach the actions and what they do before I do the card play. Only because when I tried it the other way people kept asking about the cards while I was trying to teach the card play.

Great video! Some finer points that may be overlooked 14:25 Here even though the weapon city isn’t circled, remember it is also a Loyal piece 17:14 When you gain a resource beyond capacity, you must discard a resource, this can be the one you just gained, or an old resource

Thank you for your clear explanation! I feel better about this game. It looks like it is more approachable and offers plenty of strategy. Can’t wait to get my copy!!

I'm so glad that you have tutorial for Arcs! I was looking at your overview before, and this is awesome! Best tutorial for Arcs. Thank you

I just got this in the mail. I'm so excited to play!

Just got my copy today!. Thank you for the explanation

The components for this look soooo nice

Thanks this is very nice! Will there be a campaign rules video?

Thanks for the video! Are you able to tell me the measurements of the resource tokens?

24:55 "Note that everything I just went through for taking trophies, provoking outrage, and ransacking the court, applies equally to destroying rival pieces outside battle". I think you might be trying to say "...applies equally to destroying rival CITIES outside battle". Destroying a starport or ship outside of battle doesn't provoke outrage.

Got my copy today. Unboxed, organized and tore through the rule books for Base and Blighted expansion. Ready for business!

Will you do the campaign mode too?

I'm a little confused about battles. Does the attacker or defender choose which pieces receive hits? Does it depend on which symbols appear?

Played a game of this where i drew 6 of the same card, won the initiative then next 2 rounds noone could take initiative because i had all the same type of cards. Finally someone took initiative by playing a 2nd card face down (causing them to lose actions), but they also had 3 of the same card. This game truly sucks when your actions are limited by randomly dealt cards with no draft.

20:10 I may be wrong but doesn't Red be able to catapult to the Psionic planet and then to Material one on top since there is only a single line between the systems 5 and 6?

So playing cards, you can't play a card of lower value than the suit played? Like in the example a 4 was used, but you can't play the 2 of that suit, even though it is in suit?

Hmmm…. The ships are pretty big compared to TTS

@16:30 why can you tax the yellow/loyal city on the blue planet? Doesnt blue control that system?

20:17 In the rulebook for catapult moves it says "keep moving the ships as much as you want, dropping them off as much as you want, until they move into any planet or gate that is controlled by anyone else." I'm confused how that would be an illegal move. The first move was leagal because blue controlled the yellow planet. The second move was legal because nobody controlled the yellow starport and city. The next move was legal because nobody controlled the red city. The last move was legal because it was the final move blue could do because they moved into a planet that was controlled by someone else. I am confused where you got "you can go to a single planet system as part of your catapult"
