Description

Stories claim that Eden is a land of beauty beyond compare and that its residents are bestowed with eternal life. However, the way to Eden is not open to all. Should it be discovered, the paradise will once again fade into darkness. In order to discern its exact location near a frontier town, you must first seek the eight Fragments of Ancient Knowledge hidden across the land. But when you arrive, you discover other outsiders with the same goal. In Argoat, the world is built progressively over the course of the game. You will need to gather knowledge as new elements appear. Sometimes you'll have the chance to negotiate with others to obtain this knowledge. Will you be the first to discover Eden by gathering the eight Fragments of Ancient Knowledge and find where Eden sleeps? The English edition, published by Japanime Games, includes the english rules and new custom shaped meeples. The original Japanese rulebook has rules both Japanese and English, and contains English paste-ups for the cards.
