We played two rounds of the Arcs boardgame after a very long time yesterday, and while I very much enjoy the base game (even though my partner wiped the galaxy with me), the campaign mode expansion adds an amount of complexity, that is absolutely baffling.
There is so much to track and keep in mind in terms of new mechanics and nuances, that I can't imagine to remember all of it, if I were not playing the game on a very regular basis with a set group of friends...

Which in turn makes me a little sad, because I'd love to love the game and especially the campaign mode, but I simply don't have the time (and don't want to make time) to make Arcs such a big part of my hobby life. #boardgames #Arcs

@dedalusroot@mastodon.social I just finished my first campaign of Arcs and I agree. I'm pretty sure the campaign is a good and interesting game, but the number of times I would have to play it before I understood both its rules and all the Fates rules and could start playing it skillfully... I don't see myself having that time to devote to it. I'm currently considering selling the expansion and just keeping the base game. #arcs #boardgame
