What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Arauto is a multiplayer game, and the best way to balance it is with real players at the table. Early Access lets us tune the bots, the race passives and the maps together with the community, and add first what players ask for most.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About 6 to 12 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to add Steam achievements, more maps and races, smarter bots and the features the community asks for most.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Fully playable: online matches for 3 to 6 players with bots, the classic world map and the mythic worlds of Ancalora and Asterra with 10 races, secret objectives, territory cards, profiles and statistics, in seven languages.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price may go up as content is added. Everyone who buys during Early Access gets every update at no extra cost.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Through the Steam community hub: bug reports, balance discussions and suggestions guide the roadmap, and every update comes with notes on what changed and why.”

About This Game

Conquer the board, one turn at a time

Arauto is a classic-style board game of territorial conquest, rebuilt to be played online. Place your armies, attack your neighbours with the dice, hold whole continents for extra reinforcements and trade territory cards for ever larger armies, all while chasing a secret objective that only you know.

Two ways to play

  • Classic: the real world map, with 42 territories and 6 continents. Every player is a colour.
  • Mythic: the fantasy world of Ancalora and the larger board of Asterra, with 54 territories and 8 realms. Every player leads one of 10 races, from knights and elves to dragons, the undead and fairy riders. Optional race passives give each race a trait of its own.

Features

  • Online matches for 3 to 6 players, in public or password-protected rooms
  • Play against friends, bots or both, with bots in two difficulty levels
  • Secret objectives: conquer continents, hold territories or wipe out a rival army
  • Territory cards with growing trades, continent bonuses and dice battles with up to three dice on each side
  • Drop out and come back: your match waits for you
  • A profile with your career: wins, races, maps and objectives completed
  • Built-in rules, match log and chat
  • In seven languages: English, Brazilian Portuguese, Latin American Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Russian, German and French

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Arauto is designed by a solo developer and made with generative AI tools. The art half was created with AI image generation half hand made free external art and then edited for the game.

Nothing is generated by AI while you play: the bots follow fixed rules.
