Arcs: Conflict & Collapse in the Reach

The tactical weight of each decision in the conflict phase really makes every turn feel tense, and the lore on the cards pulls you right into the crumbling Reach. I’ve played three sessions so far and each one ended with a different winner, which keeps it fresh. Well worth the table time.

The hand management and the way the "trick-taking" combat resolves feels totally fresh—it's nothing like any other space game I've played. I love how the resource scarcity forces real, difficult trade-offs every single turn.

Finally got this to the table last night, and the way the action system forces tough trade-offs every turn is brilliant. The lore about breaking cycles through gameplay actually feels meaningful, not just window dressing.
