Why it lands at the table
ARCTICA is a competitive engine-building game by Rémi Mathieu and Sams, published by This Way. Players act as forces of nature developing Arctic fauna.
There are 160 animals, each with its own ability, and gear-based player boards. Simultaneous action selection, multi-use cards, resource management and area control sit together.
The player with the highest biodiversity score wins. The pledge includes the Symbiotic Fauna and Asymmetric Generation boosters.
