Description

In The Shipwreck Arcana, you and your allies are trapped in a drowned world, but with a mystical deck and some logical thinking, you can escape unscathed. This cooperative game is all about deduction, evaluation, and logic, as you try to predict each other's fates and work together to survive. Each player's doom is constantly changing as they draw numbered fate tiles, and by carefully choosing which fate to give up and which card to play it on, you can give your allies the information they need to identify the fate you're holding. As the game unfolds, the cards themselves become one-time powers to help the players, and new cards cycle in from the deck. With simple rules to learn, The Shipwreck Arcana is a compact and engaging game that's perfect for 2 to 5 players, and can be played in as little as 10 to 30 minutes. With its unique blend of communication limits, cooperative gameplay, and deduction, this game is sure to challenge and entertain players of all skill levels.
