Learn how to play Arcs in just 27 minutes (yes I know the runtime is longer than that, there's a bit of silliness at the front and back) Big thanks to Lord of the Board for guest starring on this video.

When using raid dice, you can only steal from your opponent if you have at least one remaining ship in the system after damage is dealt. Captives and Trophies are returned after all ambitions have been scored, not immediately after scoring Tyrant/Warlord.
