About the game
Borealis: Arctic Expeditions is a board game from Lucky Duck Games, designed by Dariusz Mindur (2026). It plays 2–4 players in 45 minutes, for ages 10+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 7.3 out of 10 and call it medium (2.4 / 5 weight).
In Borealis: Arctic Expedition you become leaders of teams of scientists who venture into uncharted boreal territories to observe wild animals. To succeed, you need to coordinate the efforts of your 9-person crew of specialists from 3 different fields of expertise, represented by meeples of different colors. You also have to choose suitable modes of transport through inaccessible lands, ices and waters of the Far North. The one who gathers the most impressive collection of observed species while traveling deepest into the frosty land, will gain everlasting fame together with their own encyclopedia entry and a tiny snow-covered island named after them.
