Pros & Cons

Pros

What i like most about it is that it is approachable. Sometimes you're on the mood for a board game that is not a brain burner or an ap (analysis paralysis) prone beast. It is very fun and offers a lot of choices. I always feel like i wanted to do mor...  Read More

The versatility and replay ability are well worth it. It has enough variety in the base game for many replays and has tons of potential for expansions that could make the game endlessly re-playable.

Lost ruins of arnak is a fantastic board game that offers a unique blend of deck building and worker placement mechanics. The game can be played solo or with up to 4 players, making it an excellent option for both casual and experienced gamers. Except...  Read More

Shipping


To amazon's credit, they shipped me the replacement quickly and at no cost.

Packaging/appearance


Amazon and affiliates have been mostly excellent in packaging my purchases.


This game was packed poorly and the box was damaged because of it.


However, when i opened it up, it was just an empty box with no way of storing the items carefully.


Packaging is minimum and have dents around the corners.

Competitiveness


My favorite thing to do is be the first one to pull ahead of the other expedition teams on the research track.


People compare this game to dune imperium (because they both have worker placement and deck-building) but really better compari...  Read More
