Video Discussion ThreadArkwright the Card Game/pic5622079.jpg)
Stefan Risthaus’s card implementation of his board game Arkwright is now live on Kickstarter. This game takes the complexity of the board game and translates it into a card game, without loosing any depth of play, with new art by artist Mehdi Merrouche. This game is not filler, rather it’s full game night fodder. Develop your factories, employ workers, build machines, ship your goods, and increase your stock value to win the game. Its small portable box, and shorter run time, make this game good for experienced Arkwright players, or as introduction to the Arkwright family of games (2-4 Players, 60-100 Min, 12+). So, don’t delay, back today!
