Summary

Arcs is back baby! This week I've got Cole and Josh of Buried Giant Studios on to talk about the future of the best space opera competitive strategy game that isn't called Twilight Imperium. They've really out done themselves with the promise of new leaders, new fates, a new draft system reminiscent of the advanced setup rules for Root and perhaps even secret conversations. It's a new dawn for Arcs and I'm excited to see how it develops. Check out the kickstarter here: Arcs: Beyond the Reach Kickstarter Music provided by Ben Prunty.
