About the game

What you do in a play session

The Blighted Reach Campaign expansion introduces a fresh way to play Arcs as a micro‑campaign, where each game serves as an episode of an epic trilogy spanning an even larger galaxy. Players start as petty regents of a dying empire, but their paths diverge quickly as they complete objectives and make critical decisions. The campaign features 24 fate seeds, each packed with branches, twists, and choices that alter the story’s trajectory. You can uncover lost knowledge, guide your people to a new home, or forge a galactic confederation, all while the narrative evolves from game to game. Destroying a world may flood the galaxy with refugees in the next episode; a collapsing society could prompt you to abandon your home world and operate from a lone flagship. Each episode lasts under two hours, letting you play a single skirmish or commit to a three‑act saga, with the flexibility to pause and resume as your schedule allows. Additional components include event cards, refugee tokens, territory markers, and new campaign pieces that enrich the experience. The expansion preserves Arcs’ strategic core while adding narrative depth and negotiation opportunities that make every session distinct.
