Lost Ruins of Arnak
Lost Ruins of Arnak
Explore an island to find resources and discover the lost ruins of Arnak.
On an uninhabited island in uncharted seas, explorers have found traces of a great civilization. Now you will lead an expedition to explore the island, find lost artifacts, and face fearsome guardians, all in a quest to learn the island's secrets.
Lost Ruins of Arnak combines deck-building and worker placement in a game of exploration, resource management, and discovery. In addition to traditional deck-builder effects, cards can also be used to place workers, and new worker actions become available as players explore the island. Some of these actions require resources instead of workers, so building a solid resource base will be essential. You are limited to only one action per turn, so make your choice carefully... what action will benefit you most now? And what can you afford to do later... assuming someone else doesn't take the action first!?
Decks are small, and randomness in the game is heavily mitigated by the wealth of tactical decisions offered on the game board. With a variety of worker actions, artifacts, and equipment cards, the set-up for each game will be unique, encouraging players to explore new strategies to meet the challenge.
Discover the Lost Ruins of Arnak!
Ages 12+ | Players 1-4 | Playtime 30-120 mins

Before you hit that 'Pre-order' button, take a moment to familiarise yourself with our pre-order policy terms and conditions.
Here's the lowdown:
- Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA): ETAs can be found on each product's description page. However, delays may occur due to publisher/creator delays or shipping issues from our suppliers. Rest assured, we'll keep you in the loop with updates.
- Mixed Orders: If you've ordered both pre-order and in-stock items, we will hold the entire order until everything is available. Should you wish to receive your in-stock items sooner, we can offer split shipping which would be for an additional fee. This is most likely our $10 flat fee but we will confirm this with you at the time of your request.
- Cancellations: If you find you need to cancel, you can do so without a fee within 14 days of the product's release date. Just give us a shout as soon as you can. Pre-order cancellations will not be accepted less than 14 days from product release.
- High-Demand TCG Products: The popularity of some items means we receive allocation information about six weeks before release. Should pre-orders exceed our allocation, we'll prioritise based on pre-order date - first in, first served. Any affected customers will be notified and offered a store credit or full refund.
- Allocation and Release Updates: If there are any changes to our allocation, release dates or shipping updates that impact your pre-order, every effort will be made to keep you updated.
