I am so excited!!!!
Recently, Res Arcana became available on BoardGameArena.com . This game has been on my wishlist since it came out, and honestly I kind of forgot about it. As soon as I saw it on BGA, I was very excited to learn and give it a try. I was 100% NOT disappointed!!!!
Within the first game, I knew I liked it...
By the time I was into my second game I knew I had to get it...
Just after starting my third game, Res Arcana flew to the top of my wishlist...
By the end of game four (my first and only victory), I set up a notification on a couple of my board game store websites to let me know when it's back in stock.
Fast forward just a few days later, and my purchase was confirmed this morning after I got a notification from boardgamebliss.com
I can't wait to get the physical copy to the table soon!! :)
@JW I got my copy of Res Arcana today and unboxed it this afternoon. I tried the "Invisible Mage" solo variant by Scott Czysz you mentioned. Two words about sums it up: "Holy crap!"
It's definitely simple to understand - not so simple to win. LOL I really feel I got a handle on the game very quickly, but this will keep me busy for a bit I think. LOL I enjoyed it though.
I'm a huge fan of Tom Lehmann's games. And I think this one is very interesting. Scott Czysz (of Pocket Landship game) liked Res Arcana so much he created a simple solo variant. It's in the files on BGG. Could you please try it for me Derek? I just need a tiny little bit convincing. 😄
BGG says 2-4 Players. Does it have a viable Solo Variant?
Well done! The gameplay seems a bit too abstract to me, but I'll wait for your session report. 😊
