Description
In a time long forgotten, the cruel Fomori rule over Érin, the green island. They praise their king Balor, who reigns from his fortifications in the north with an iron fist. Old paths and ruins spread over the island's face, which will be called Ireland many generations from now. But new tribes arrive at the island striving for permanent presence. Who will control Érin's fate over the next centuries to come?
Each player in The Arrival represents a tribe leader who tries to gain predominance over the mythical island of Érin while pushing back the demon-like Fomori. But the players are facing a dilemma, for spreading too quickly means becoming more and more corrupt and strengthening the Fomori in their power...
Over 4-6 rounds, the players determine their resources by means of a unique game mechanism, which will be used later on profitably. During a first phase (Earning Phase), players draw four cards, each showing three sections of different resources. Two of these sections are gradually blocked by the player, thus leaving one section. The resources shown on this section are the ones the player gets. During this phase, they have to decide which section is the best one; while the upper section of the cards offers many resources, it also results in unwanted Corruption Points. The middle and the lower sections offer fewer resources, but also less Corruption.
After that, the Action Phase takes place and the players must use their resources wisely while having the choice from different kinds of actions in order to get Fame Points.
The game ends when a certain number of rounds have been played or somebody reaches the corruption limit.
The winner is either the one with the highest amount of Fame Points or the one with the fewest Corruption Points. This depends on the scene of the board at the end: Do the tribes (players) control more locations on Érin than the Fomori do — or is it the other way around?

| 2e édition réussie | |
| Ceci est la 2e édition de ce jeu qui est parru seulement en europe au départ. Le visuel et les composants ont été améliorés à l'exception des disques de contrôle de territoire qui étaient en bois auparavant. Il y a aussi une variante pour les personnages. Bon jeu de Martin Wallace ?? | |

| Une allégorie mystique de Mr Wallace | |
| The Arrival est un jeu de société de stratégie et de gestion de ressources pour 2 à 4 joueurs, publié en 2020 par Martin Wallace et édité par Cryptozoic Entertainment. Dans le jeu, les joueurs incarnent des chefs de tribus qui tentent de construire leur ville et de prospérer en échangeant des ressources et en construisant des bâtiments. Le jeu se déroule dans un monde fantastique avec des illustrations magnifiques. Au début de chaque tour, les joueurs sélectionnent secrètement deux cartes d'action parmi les six disponibles. Les cartes peuvent être utilisées pour collecter des ressources, construire des bâtiments, influencer l'opinion publique ou simplement prendre des points de victoire. Ensuite, les joueurs révèlent leurs cartes et choisissent l'ordre dans lequel ils les utilisent. Le joueur ayant le symbole de priorité commence, puis les autres joueurs jouent à tour de rôle. Les ressources sont utilisées pour construire des bâtiments et développer sa ville. Les bâtiments offrent des avantages spécifiques, tels que des ressources supplémentaires ou des points de victoire. Les joueurs peuvent également utiliser leurs ressources pour influencer l'opinion publique, ce qui peut leur rapporter des points de victoire ou des bonus supplémentaires. Le jeu est livré avec des factions différentes, chacune avec son propre style de jeu unique. Les joueurs peuvent également jouer avec des cartes d'objectifs supplémentaires pour ajouter de la variété au gameplay. La partie se termine lorsque tous les joueurs ont effectué un certain nombre de tours ou si l'un des joueurs atteint un nombre de points de victoire prédéterminé. L'intérêt pour ce jeu ne fait certainement pas l'unanimité et je dirais de l'essayer avec d'acheter si possible, mais personnellement, je l'aime beaucoup. |
