Arkontia is a medium-sized Euro game. Strategy and resource management game. The board shows a world divided into regions with natural resources that are connected to each other. Players choose a capital city from among their territories and, at the beginning of the turn, obtain the resources from the territories connected to the capital. They then use these natural resources to develop their empire or expand their army, enabling them to conquer other territories by rolling dice. The OBJECTIVE is to obtain 10 victory points, which are earned by achieving different milestones that are dynamically added or subtracted from the player who obtains them. The ways to earn points are: conquering continents, developing cities, obtaining the longest trade route, obtaining the longest sea route, the largest army, and the greatest number of strategic enclaves. Resource trading is done with the other players and the bank, and it is important not only to control your strategic depth but also to negotiate. There are three phases in each turn: First, we obtain the resources for the turn and decide how to use them (buying cards, ports, cities, or armies). Second, we attack with our armies to conquer nearby territories (by rolling dice). Third, we mobilize troops to advance our strategy or protect remote territories. The game is very easy to understand but at the same time achieves a deep complexity. —description from the designer Arkontia es un Euro-medio. Juego de estrategia y control de recursos.
