Res Arcana

So there you go nine out of ten. That is a seal of excellence and that's gon na do it everybody.

We've looked into a lot of games that people have recommended to us, based on our love for Terraforming Mars: Underwater Cities, Viticulture, Res Arcana, ++. We really enjoyed both Res Arcana and Viticulture, great games, though not quite like TM.

Got to play Res Arcana last night (I know, I'm late to the party), and I really enjoyed it!. I still can't believe that one can build an engine with just 8 cards (when I first heard it, I was like, "what? "), but in the end the engine worked! I had no clue what I was doing when I was drafting the 8 cards, but managed to get to 11 points at the end.

Res Arcana was definitely my favorite game so far on there. We were about to try it out on tabletop simulator and I noticed it was on Board Game Arena so we tried it on there and I personally was quite amazed.

Halfway through my first play however, I was certain Res Arcana was going to be one of my favorite games. The iconography is very understandable. There is a relatively small number of icons and they are used so prevalently that it was easy to memorize them. The fantasy theme beautifully fit the mechanisms of the game.

Res Arcana. Tableau builder and my favorite game in my library. I wrote a review on it. Summary: Short game that has numerous ways to win and loads of replayability.
