Welcome to the world of Arborea. You are a guardian spirit, guiding your villagers to heal and grow the landscape around them by sending them on pilgrimages and building your personal ecosystem.
Arborea is a worker placement game where time and planning ahead are crucial.
Throughout the game, players place workers on action tracks ("Pilgrimage"). These tracks will then move forward, with all workers moving along with them. The further the action tracks move, the better the rewards obtained when workers are activated.
These rewards can help players contribute to the shared resource trail, make offerings to the great Elders to invest in future gifts, or attract animals to the land of Arborea. Explore different seasons each time for new opportunities and paths to follow.
Take advantage of the shared resources to build your personal ecosystem, by overlaying terrain cards to build habitats and place animals for victory points.
