Arcs

Arcs is a card game by Cole Wehrle, where players use a trick-taking inspired mechanism for turn order and action selection.

Initiative allows players to declare ambitions, influencing how points are scored.

Players can seize initiative by trashing a card, granting agency even with a weak hand.

Players are limited by their hand of cards, creating opportunities to pivot and declare an ambition.

The game combines strategic card play with control over scoring criteria.
