Arcs is a sharp sci-fi strategy game for 2–4 players, set in a dark yet silly universe. Ready yourself for dramatic twists and turns as you launch into this galactic struggle.

Seize the initiative:
Take actions with multi-use cards. Copy the leader, pivot to new tactics, or take the initiative for next round. Timing is everything.

Declare ambitions:
In each game, you define the objectives that everyone competes over to win.

Crush your foes:
Amass your navy for battle, plan your strategy with three kinds of dice, then roll them all at once to resolve the battle in a flash.

Each game contains a hundred wooden ships and agents, 18 custom engraved dice, a beautiful six-panel board, and tons of cards with over 60 pieces of unique art.

So, I saw your recent short. To me the issue with AI art is that these AI programs are trained on many different kinds of images, including art from human artists. Then they make an image based on that learning. But the companies who own these AI (and the creators who use them in videos) are not paying the original artists for essentially putting their art into a machine to teach it.

So that's the sort of, abstract moral issue with it.

The more practical, everday issue is ... eventually AI art is going to get good enough to do any style, and do videos, and be indistinguishable from human work. And if businesses use that, then human artists ... like Kyle Ferrin for instance ... will be out of work.

Wouldn't the be a huge shame?

Now, this wouldn't be the first time a new machine has made a job redundant. But most of those machines at least made things better for consumers. For example an automated loom was invented in the 1800s that could make fabric (and clothes) faster than a human with a spinning wheel. Human spinsters went out of work, but clothes became more affordable for everyone. But AI art doesn't really improve anybody's life. So we would be putting real human artists out of work ... for no benefit to us ... just our own amusement.

I don't totally agree with your statement of construction being the weakest suit. It's the only one that allows you to build more ships and enable vast majority of plays in this game. Ships are a sparse and crucial resource.
