Arborea is a fantastic explosion of colour, intricate detail and a devilish knot of strategy. There is a lot going on, a lot for your eyes to take in and a lot to think about, but once you pare it all back, the premise of the game is straightforward, it’s a worker placement game, after all, so your turn comes down to placing a worker, activating workers and clearing down your turn. Keep these three things held firmly in your mind and you will make it through this game.
