Arborea Rules Rewrite

When I first got this game, it took me three tries of reading through the rules to gain even a basic understanding of how the game played. Those three read throughs were not enough for me to clearly or concisely explain the game to my friends, however. After struggling through teaching the game, and then a stuttering playthrough, I decided to repeat the experiment I did with Scythe Expeditions.

​

The Arborea rulebook was much more cluttered than Expeditions, but even still, I kept most all of the rules as written (there were a few edits I made for clarity), and focused on rearranging the content. Much like Expeditions, my next attempt at playing the game was much easier to teach and play. With how frequently I had to look up the order of steps in a turn or other rule clarifications, I realize I do still need to make some reference aids (the game doesn't have any).
