Arcs: Leaders & Lore Pack Expansion

The new Leaders completely change how I approach the base game—each one forces a different rhythm, and the Lore cards add just the right amount of chaos to keep every session unpredictable. I’ve already played three rounds with them, and the strategic depth feels fresh every time.

I was skeptical about how much the new lore cards would change the campaign, but the way they twist each round's scoring is genuinely surprising. The leaders are well-balanced too, with one letting me pull off a clever resource trade I'd never seen before.

The new leaders add some interesting strategic options, but the lore cards feel a bit unbalanced in practice. I've had a few games where one player's lore advantage seemed overwhelming. It's a decent expansion if you're looking for more variety in the base game.
