As others have said, this is an excellent board game. The art is absolutely beautiful, and it is genuinely fun to explore the new sites with their corresponding guardians. The research track is sometimes said to be less fun, and it is more or less buying victory points. However, as an academic, I can really appreciate that thematic implementation of an expedition. The search and discovery it represents, with the magnifying glass going first followed by publishing research, is satisfying along with the research assistants it enables you to recruit along the way that come when you publish your research (i.e. move your journal token up the track). The art in the research track is fun as well, and I think it has Latin notes scribbled in small font along it as well, as the researchers get progressively more excited by their discoveries! I thought this was going to be a downside, but it surprised me in how much I enjoyed the track as a thematic game mechanic. Two other important notes: 1) With new items and artifacts played out in each game, along with the new worker placement sites and guardians that are randomly laid out each game - the game is highly replayable with lots of variety. 2) The game uses a lot of mechanics, part worker placement, part deck building (with thin decks), part resource management, and part exploration. However, in my mind, I like this a lot as it forces you to not focus too much on just perfecting one particular mechanic or part of your engine and forget what you are playing. By masterfully integrating a number of different mechanics, it allows those mechanics to fade into the background as you focus on thematically running an expedition. My only negative is that there are a lot of options to choose from, and towards the end game it can invite analysis paralysis that can delay the game. I hope that this goes away with more play throughs. In general, there are enough options and mechanics to choose from each turn that no matter what you do, it will net you points in a positive way with some fun combos to boot. There is just the right amount of randomization and luck to make you feel rewarded with an earned victory when a strategy pays off, and also not feel too bad about it when you don't win. I look forward to trying the Expedition Leaders expansion soon!

My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed every play of this game (now at 21 times played). The mechanics were easy to grasp and there are enough decisions to be made to keep the game interesting without making it cumbersome. We love the two-track element of this game with the combination of exploration and research. The research track was just a cool race for points and some special rewards for accomplishing goals. Exploring the jungle and building our decks was enjoyable as well. It's obvious the designers meant this to be a fun experience due to the fact that the guardians really weren't all that harmful. Gaining some fear cards but having no other detrimental outcome made flipping over a guardian tile much less nerve wracking as a decision (It should be noted, however, that the fear cards you get for not defeating a monster can cost you. I had 2 fear cards in my hand at the end of the game and lost by 1 point. So they can matter). We recommend this game to anyone looking for a really fun, easy to learn, well-themed game. The art is great, the components are solid and it's got all the hallmarks of a great family game.

I am a big board game fan, and have hundreds of games. Even with all of those games, this is currently my favorite game. It's a great role playing game that is so fun for me that I don't mind when I lose! And it is even better with the expansions. The leader expansion is a must and is so well integrated that my friends are surprised it was an expansion. In fact, the expansion characters are on the main game box art. There are a lot of parts, and it can look overwhelming when setting up, but games play really smooth and I wouldn't change how it plays. Lots of replayability. Great for 2, 3, and 4 players.

Ruins of Arnak is an amazing euro-game about finding the lost ruins of Atlantis....er....Arnak! RoA mixes two of my favorite game mechanics in one game-worker placement and deck building-into a frantic and fun race between players to be the first to discover the lost ancient temples of Atlant-um-Arnak. Players will use their workers and decks of cards to do three main objectives: 1) to explore the island of Arnak and gather resources and knowledge while fighting off powerful and fearsome monster guardians! 2) Use those resources to buy more cards to give yourself more special abilities and more powerful moves,; 3) use those cards and resources to move up the REASEARCH TRACK that allows a player to recruit helpers, gain special abilities and ultimately decipher the lost language of Atlantis...er....Arnak and discover the location of it's greatest temple! To put is simply, Arnak is a great game! If you love archaeology themed games, then this is a no-brainer! 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! Ruins of Arnak is rare among euros in that the game actually has a cool theme that the game mechanics actually support. This is the kind of game both euro-gamers and AmeriTHRASHERS can enjoy equally. The game is also gorgeous to look at and will be a real head turner when set up on the table.

I've been looking for games I can play both by myself, and with others. Lost Ruins of Arnak is both a fun game, and visually stunning. I enjoy that there are multiple pathways to winning, and the ease of using the automata rules. There are a lot of little bits and bobs for this game, which I definitely like. The pieces are plastic, but shaped and textured like what they represent, such as gemstones, and ancient tablets. The game also comes with two levels of difficulty, so you can learn on the easier board, and move to the more advanced when you're ready. It's not a beginner game, but there are some excellent how to play videos out there, and one was all I needed to really get started.
