Arkana Miłości is a board game released in 2010 for 2 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 18 and up. It was designed by Mateusz Pronobis and Kamil Matuszak and its main mechanics are Hand Management and Open Drafting.
Arkana Miłości (Arcana of Love) is an exclusive erotic card game for couples who are not afraid of new challenges. This best-selling Polish game is close to the LCG format (living card game). In the basic box you can find 55 cards and a rule booklet. During the gameplay the participants have 5 kinds of cards (arcana, challenges, actions, counter-actions and special actions)at their disposal. Every person has 5 cards on hand and can use three of them in any combination. The game ends when one of the players (the game was designed for an unlimited number of players, but of course it will be played mostly by couples) is naked and an "arcana" card is played. So far one expansion pack has been published, with more to come in the future. Polish description from the publisher: Arkana Miłości to bestseller na rynku gier partnerskich. Celem gry jest wzmacnianie relacji między zauroczonymi sobą osobami oraz efektywne urozmaicanie stałych związków. Dzieje się tak dzięki prostym zasadom, erotycznym wyzwaniom oraz zmysłowym pieszczotom… Prawie każdą kartę zdobi piękne zdjęcie aktu oraz wykwintny cytat, co czyni Arkana Miłości propozycją niezwykle wysmakowaną. Gra polega na wykładaniu kart, które dosłownie „rozbieraja” drugą osobę lub nas samych (karty ARKAN), stawiają przed nią wyzwanie (karty WYZWAŃ), pozwalają oddać się pieszczotom (karty AKCJI) lub wpływać na przebieg gry (karty KONTRAKCJI oraz AKCJI SPECJALNYCH).
Arkana Miłości supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Arkana Miłości is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Arkana Miłości for ages 18 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Arkana Miłości has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
