{"product_id":"the-arrival-board-game","title":"The Arrival – Board Game","description":"\u003cp\u003eFamed game designer Martin Wallace’s (Age of Steam, Brass) acclaimed new game transforms players into tribe leaders in ancient Ireland – back when it was known as Erin – who have arrived to fight the demon-like Fomori that rule the island. As they vie for control over territories with the other tribes, players utilize actions that let them build and protect fortifications and repel and spread the Fomori, choosing how ruthless they wish to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique mechanics of the game include two different tracks that will determine victory: the Fame Point Track and the Corruption Track. Players must make decisions on how to gain resources, either gaining more resources (spreading their tribes more quickly) and more Corruption Points or gaining fewer resources (risking losing ground to the other tribes and the Fomori) and more Fame Points. The winner is either the one with the highest amount of Fame Points or the one with the fewest Corruption Points, the path to victory depending on whether the tribes or the Fomori control more locations at the end of the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter an initial release at Spiel 2016 in Essen, Cryptozoic is releasing The Arrival to a wider audience with updated art and game components, rule refinements, and additional new content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComponents\u003cbr\u003e1 Game Board\u003cbr\u003e60 Building Discs\u003cbr\u003e8 Tracker Tokens\u003cbr\u003e8 Blockers\u003cbr\u003e6 Tribe Cards with new advanced gameplay bonuses\u003cbr\u003e1 Starting Player Card\u003cbr\u003e4 Overview Cards\u003cbr\u003e1 Round Counter\u003cbr\u003e4 Balor’s Castle Tiles\u003cbr\u003e50 Fomori Tiles\u003cbr\u003e20 Swords\u003cbr\u003e12 Shields\u003cbr\u003e30 Tactic Tiles\u003cbr\u003e54 Earning Cards\u003cbr\u003e1 Rulebook (English)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pop Pelican","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54023592378686,"sku":"CRY02583","price":64.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/8554\/1438\/files\/CRY02583-The-Arrival.jpg?v=1785811190","url":"https:\/\/poppelican.com.au\/products\/the-arrival-board-game","provider":"Pop Pelican","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
