ARCTIC is a fun and addictive card game for 2 to 4 players! To win, it's about scoring the most points by creating the longest possible consecutive series of cards for each animal, while also trying to have the greatest diversity of animals.
Then, build your deck by collecting Animal cards and play with the powers they give you. The last card you play during your turn tells you how many cards to draw this turn and how many to play the next turn. You also start with a Totem Animal that nobody knows, and if you bring it to the end of the ice floe without being noticed, you'll score bonus points.
64 configurations of powers ensure a different experience each time you play. Arctic is a simple and brilliant family card game designed by Cédric Lefebvre, illustrated by Christine Alcouffe.
FEATURES
- HAND MANAGEMENT: Create the longest possible sequences of animal cards, but also diversity and advance your totem animal toward the pack ice as far as you can. Manage your hand of cards well and use the powers of the animals wisely.
- ENGAGING & REALLY ADDICTIVE: With its simple rules, beautiful illustrations, and enjoyable collection mechanics, you'll find yourself playing game after game. It’s a clever game of placing and drawing cards!
- CLEVER SYSTEM: Assemble and manage your pile of Animal cards, playing their effects to strategically bring your animal totem on the last card of the landscape.
- UTILIZE SPECIAL EFFECTS: Each animal has two powers, you choose one for each at the beginning of the game. These powers affect each strategic aspect of the game, such as how you draw, lay down, move tokens on the landscape, etc.
- EASY BUT TRICKY: Arctic is really easy to explain and to understand, it's a real Family game but with many strategic choices about the cards you take, the cards you play, the Animal tokens you move, and the power you use.
