Description

Overview: A new arcade has opened up in town and it’s the first 12 hours of business. Time to head over and show your stuff. Get those high scores and try to hold them! At the end of the day, only one person can be the champion of the arcade!

Introduction: The Arcade Game is a card based board game with a variable board. Each game you randomly choose 8 arcade cabinets and shuffle them with the lobby to form a 3x3 grid. Players can move to adjacent cabinets (up left down or right) and play a machine. Players roll d6s and attempt to beat the high score for the machine. However, other players can then knock them off. Everyone scores “cred” at the end of 12 rounds for each high score they hold. The player with the most cred is the champion of the arcade.
