What we enjoy about Lost Ruins of Arnak
- It involves placing workers and building decks. They are equally important
- The artwork is beautiful.
- Items and artefacts up top change over time, so you must adjust accordingly
- In the game, you always have many options available to you (often as many as six: go to several locations, play a card, buy a card, research). As you can only do one per turn, if you think there is an item everyone would like, you should buy it first.
- Each mechanic in itself is easy to understand.
- The cards have easy-to-understand icons.
Things to take note:
There can be a lot of analysis paralysis, especially in the last round.
