Arcs: Conflict & Collapse in the Reach is a space opera board game designed by Cole Wehrle, illustrated by Kyle Ferrin, and published by Leder Games in 2024 alongside Arcs: The Blighted Reach Expansion, a large expansion which significantly modifies the base game into a three-act legacy campaign.[1] In Arcs, players compete to gain the most points by fulfilling variable objectives, taking actions through a trick-taking system and using different dice to attack enemy starships, with each player possessing variable powers. Following initial releases to Kickstarter backers, the base game and expansion were released to retail on October 1 2024.[2]
