About This Site

This is a site dedicated to the Arcadia collectible card game released by White Wolf in the mid '90s. This was a great game featuring a role playing aspect. The game is now out of print and some cards are extremely difficult to find.

Here you will find resources like card lists, maps, rules, alternate rules (including solo play), card evaluations, and strategy tips.

Arcadia Printing Errors

So far we've discovered printing errors for Lost! and Thomas, the Lame Brigand. After discussions with Moxtaveto, it seems like there are many more cards with problems. This doesn't mean that every copy of a card has the problem...for example, some copies of Lost! are misprinted while others are not. Below is a list of cards that Moxtaveto has found errors on:

1 error in KING IRONHEART'S MADNESS:


"Vigorous" (Ability): besides the correct version, there is also a version
with the text "EXHAUSTED" on both sides! This can easily be overseen,
because the front side has the correct image which differs slightly from the
one on the back side like on all cards.


2 errors in ARCADIA THE WYLD HUNT:


"Dragonkin" (Enemy): besides the correct version, there is also a version
with correct Dragonkin on the front side, but with "Redkaps" on the back
side!


"The Ruins of Plugrath" (League): besides the correct version, there is also
a version with the "Ruins of Plugrath"-text on one side, but with the image
of "Nowhere Junction" on the front!


Besides these errors, there are 16 Waylay cards from "ARCADIA THE WYLD HUNT"
which come in 2-3 versions. Different are the terrain icons in the middle
column of the card.


11 cards come in 2 versions:


Banek
Giant Slug
Gord's Knot
Pilgrim's Burden
Pirates
Quicksand
Rockslide
Spidereye Goblin
Spike Trap
Unicorn
Waterrunner


5 cards come in 3 versions:


Forest Spiders
Huntsman's Snare
Icarian Flying Skiff
Lost!
Thomas the Lame Brigand


In addition, Moxtaveto has modified my Excel file to include the variations of the cards. I have posted a link to this updated file over in the sidebar. Many thanks to Moxtaveto once again for all his hard work!

Minor Updates

I've updated the Excel Checklist/Database to add two Arts columns: Pyretics and Imagery. These are Arts that Naga Characters can choose to start the game with.

I've also uploaded a PDF version of the combined map of Arcadia. It's a little easier to read than the JPG version. You'll find the link in the sidebar to the right.

Card Checklist Now Online

Well, it's complete - a card checklist, in Excel, listing every card available in TWH & KIM, searchable and with filters that allow you to sort on multiple fields.

There are a few things absent - no artist listing, and no flavor text for Leagues and Characters, but it shouldn't affect the usefulness much. And I may add that stuff in at some point.

The link is over in the sidebar, it's a shared xls file in Google Docs, created under Excel 2003, so if you've got that version or later you'll have no problems. Older versions of Excel - come on now, join the 21st century! You should be able to download an add-on to read Excel 2003 files if you haven't done so already.

Now that the card list is complete, we'll move on to my next 2 topics: proxy cards and solo play.

Many thanks to Richard Uyeyama for his fantastic card lists, which were invaluable, and Ravenpolar at Boardgamegeek, who came up with a Wyld Hunt checklist that I used as a baseline, and thus saved me some data entry.
