Pros

  • Lost Ruins Of Arnak, for the rulebook text, board art and resource tokens.
  • Favorites include: ... Lost Ruins of Arnak
  • Welp sorry everyone but Lost Ruins of Arnak is the top choice here. Especially when you add in the leaders and missing expedition expansions. At that point the game is just better than the other listed games without also being a huge cho...
  • If I could include expansions: Everdell, Dominion, Lost Ruins of Arnak.
  • For hobby gamers LRoA is great because it combines two loved mechanics, Worker Placement and Deck Building

Cons

  • i actually really like this game (even tough i haven't played it fully yet) but it seems like my family doesn't like it much, which i find a bit dissaponting.
  • Lost Ruins of Arnak - I’ve never clicked with this game. The game has always amounted to do a thing, get a thing. ... I'm totally with you regarding Arnak, but then I played it again, and again... I believe it took me 3/4 games to finall...
  • I think LRoA is too big of a jump for people who have only played Catan and Pandemic in the modern space. There's a lot going on in that game which I'm sure would overwhelm less experienced people.

Lost Ruins of Arnak - I’ve never clicked with this game. The game has always amounted to do a thing, get a thing. ... I'm totally with you regarding Arnak, but then I played it again, and again... I believe it took me 3/4 games to finally click, and now I love it.

Welp sorry everyone but Lost Ruins of Arnak is the top choice here. Especially when you add in the leaders and missing expedition expansions. At that point the game is just better than the other listed games without also being a huge chore to learn and setup.

Parent context: I played Arnak a few and actually kinda liked it but didn’t feel the need to have it. Reply: I played Arnak a few and actually kinda liked it but didn’t feel the need to have it.

I think i have similar tastes as you and would either try Dune: Imperium or Lost Ruins of Arnak and choose which you like best.
