Arkadia
From the Publisher...
In a remote land there lies a region with undulating hills and fertile valleys. Widely-travelled settlers have laid the foundation stone for the city of Arkadia. In addition to several other buildings, they want to construct a magnificent castle on a hill. Four wealthy families – the cloth merchants, the spice merchants, the carpenters and the silversmiths – want to enhance prestige and augment their influence. For this reason, they compete for the major contribution to the castle’s construction. Players act as architects. The four families commission them to plan and realise the build-up of the town and the castle.

| In this nice Ravensburger game you play an architect developing a city and castle. The combination of tile placement and set collection provide a fun challenge. Arkadia is a classic game that fills a niche in most game collections. |
| Arkadia was actually nominated for the prestigious "Spiel Des Jahres" (Game of the year) title in Germany when it was first released - and for good reason! It is a game about building and scoring points for buildings, but what sets it appart from other games of this genre, is the fact that you choose when to score your buildings yourself. This means that you constantly have to weigh the benefits of adding more to your buildings with the risk of them becoming less valuable. This creates agonizing decisions and in turn a great gaming experience. |
