Watch β€œArkadia β€” How to Play 🎲 and Is It a Gem? πŸ’Ž,” a board game review for Arkadia from Board Gems on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Board Gems on YouTube:

In Arkadia, from RΓΌdiger Dorn and Ravensburger, players place buildings and workers on a board in order to build a castle. Okay, ignore that setting and the almost stereotypical "dry euro" cover. Underneath is a clever combination of stock manipulation and polyominoes, well before the current popularity of polyominoes in board games. Arkadia was nominated for Game of the Year in 2007 and did not have a printing since, so it's likely unknown to a newer generation of board game enthusiasts... Board Gems highlights older board and card games that are still great games today, and deserve to not be forgotten!

About Arkadia, from BoardGameGeek:

Arkadia is a game about building the city and castle of Arkadia. Players use builders, cards, workers, and neutral workers to build houses in Arkadia. Houses are built with the seal of one of 4 families; this family gave the building order and will get the building player its seal. These seals can be changed for victory points. But seals are subject to changing values. The growing castle (every time a house is built, players also build on the castle) has the 4 seals on it as well, which decides the value of each seal. The castle is also the game's timer: once the second layer is built, the last round starts. The player with the most gold wins. Released: Essen 2006. Online Play Yucata (turn-based)
