• Week 11 - The Cooler Dice
  November 08, 2021 by Arc Games

  Our game took a lot of time. It took a LONG time to complete. Between Monday night and Thursday afternoon, we probably spent close to 20 hours on our game. We were tirelessly creating, modifying, adju... Continue reading

  October 31, 2021 by Arc Games

  While trying to balance my custom cards in Battle Battle, I took the easy path of not using any tokens. It was easier to balance a character that performed roughly the same every time. But, this also... Continue reading

  September 05, 2021 by Arc Games
