About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey board game enthusiasts! If you're a fan of the Lost Ruins of Arnak vibe, get ready for another dose of adventure with the Soothsayer's Runes promo card. This little gem, which first appeared in crowdfunding campaigns, adds an extra layer of strategy and interaction without overcomplicating the base game. With it, you gain the unique ability to peek into an opponent's deck and copy the effect of a card they're holding. Imagine: you can use a powerful ability they were saving for later, or even disrupt their play by placing their card back on top of their deck. It's one of those game-changing cards, you know? The "Once-Per-Game Ability" mechanic ensures this special action is a key moment, requiring good timing to be used at the right time for that decisive advantage. Plus, it fits perfectly with the "Deck Building" and "Worker Placement" mechanics we already love in Arnak. This promo card is one of those extras that make a difference, adding replayability and new tactical possibilities without overwhelming the experience. It's perfect for those who like having more options and want to spice up their games without learning a ton of new rules. If you've already mastered the ruins and are looking for a new challenge, this card is for you!
