Set in the mythical city of Cadwallon, Arcana pits you against up to three other opponents in a high stake power struggle for your guild.

Each player represents one of the great guilds of Cadwallon: the guild of Blades, the guild of Ferrymen, the guild of Thieves, and the guild of Userers. Based on the number of players in the game you have a certain number of Stakes areas. Players battle for control of cards that come up in each Stakes area each turn. A major key of the game is that the Stakes areas closest to your guilds allow you to play your cards face down, allowing you to surprise or even bluff your opponents away from cards during the turn. Win Stakes cards to improve your deck throughout the game.

Arcana is brilliantly illustrated by an art team lead by the legend Paulo Parente and is a fast fun way to get both your card game and fantasy fix.
