Just tried out arc last week. Fun game, the cards drive the boat a lot more than I'd like though.

That's a very common perception for beginners in the game :). With enough plays you'll get into the mindset of playing the hand rather than forcing the hand to do something else

That's what I meant, your tactics get dictated by the hand you're dealt. And I don't like that.

Fair enough! It's definitely a love it or hate it kind of game

I can't wait for the localized version to be published this summer, it's my most anticipated game, hoping the campaign is bundled with it

It's definitely a fun game. The chapter system gives it a good depth of game with a count down. Makes for an interesting game with an ending in a reasonable amount of time. We didn't try the campaign, hopefully next time.
