Arborea is a colorful strategic game in which players take on the role of Patron Spirits. Their task is to guide villagers on pilgrimages, restore a devastated landscape, and build their own ecosystem to which animals return.
It is a medium-to-heavy worker placement euro game for 1–5 players, lasting approximately 90–120 minutes. The core mechanism revolves around placing workers on moving action tracks (pilgrimages):
- workers are placed on a chosen track, which advances over the course of the game,
- the farther a worker travels, the stronger the rewards it receives when activated,
- all players advance the tracks, creating constant player interaction,
- resources are shared, leading to interesting decisions: use them immediately or leave them to score points,
- players use resources to build a personal ecosystem from terrain and populate it with animals that score points at the end of the game.
Arborea is a beautiful strategic game about restoring nature that, through its unique use of time and shared resources, offers a deep yet highly harmonious gameplay experience 🌳
