Lost Ruins of Arnak [Board Game]

Embark on an exhilarating adventure with Lost Ruins of Arnak, a captivating board game from Czech Games Edition that blends deck-building, worker placement, and resource management into a thrilling journey of exploration and discovery. Designed for 1 to 4 players, ages 12 and up, this award-winning game (2020 Board Game Quest Awards Game of the Year and 2021 Deutscher Spiele Preis) offers 30–120 minutes of immersive gameplay, perfect for family game nights or strategic sessions with friends.

Set on an uninhabited island in uncharted seas, Lost Ruins of Arnak casts you as the leader of an expedition to uncover the secrets of a long-lost civilization. Explore dense jungles, unearth ancient artifacts, and confront fearsome guardians as you race to amass the most points over five dynamic rounds. The game’s innovative mechanics allow cards to serve dual purposes: use them for traditional deck-building effects or to place workers, unlocking new actions as you delve deeper into the island’s mysteries.

With only one main action per turn, every decision is critical. Will you dig at a site for valuable resources, discover new locations, battle guardians, or advance your research for powerful bonuses? Manage resources like coins, compasses, tablets, jewels, and arrowheads to fuel your strategy, but choose wisely—opponents may claim key actions before you! Small decks and a wealth of tactical choices on the beautifully designed game board keep randomness low and replayability high, ensuring every game feels fresh and engaging.

Lost Ruins of Arnak shines with its stunning production quality, featuring vibrant artwork, custom-shaped resource tokens, and thick, durable boards. The game includes a double-sided main board, four double-sided player boards, 110 cards, wooden archaeologists, research tokens, and a variety of tiles for sites, idols, guardians, and more, all crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Whether playing solo or with up to three others, the game’s intuitive iconography and clear rulebook make it accessible yet deeply strategic.
