Dec 27, 2023

Next month will see the release of Arborea from Alley Cat Games. In the game, players take on the roles of spirits leading their villagers to plan and create a viable ecosystem for their prosperity. Arborea is for one to five players, ages 14+, plays in 90 to 120 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $54.99 when it lands in stores January 24th.

About the game:

Welcome to the world of Arborea. You are a Patron Spirit, guiding your villagers to heal and grow the landscape around them by sending them on pilgrimages and building your personal Ecosystem.

Arborea is a worker placement euro game where time, and planning ahead, is key.

During the game, players will place workers on Action Tracks (“Pilgrimage”). These tracks will then advance, moving all workers with them. The farther the Action Tracks move, the better the Rewards gained when workers are activated.

These rewards may help Players to contribute to the Shared Resource Track, make offerings to the great and wise Sages to invest in future gifts, or attract animals to the land of Arborea. Explore different Seasons each game for new opportunities and paths to take.

Take from the Shared Resources to build your personal Ecosystem, overlaying terrain cards to build habitats and placing animals for end game Victory Points.
