With the power of the cards he begins his adventure.
Arcana is a first-person RPG which focuses on the exploration of varied dungeon settings.
A village serves as hub in which Rooks can visit places like a fortune teller or shops to buy items and equipment.
On the world map, which does not offer free movement, he chooses his next destination where the dungeon crawl begins.
The battles occur randomly and are turn-based: during each turn, the player chooses the next action of a character from a list of actions, e.g. attack or magic.
Eventually the characters advance their experience level and therefore their stats.
The main visual characteristic of the game is the display of monsters and characters: everything is represented with cards.
They can have an elemental attribute or not.
Rooks is able to summon an elemental to aid him.
He can only summon one type at a time, and he must find them before being able to summon them.
Two more characters can join the party.
About Super Nintendo Entertainment System
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1990/1991) is widely regarded as home to one of the strongest first-party libraries in gaming history, from Super Metroid to Chrono Trigger. It's a mature collecting market: iconic RPGs and late-cycle releases (which typically had smaller print runs as the industry moved toward the next generation) are consistently among the most sought-after and valuable cartridges from the 16-bit era.
Gamevaro tracks Arcana for Super Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Arcana to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This SNES release dates back to 1992.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Arcana, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Super Nintendo Entertainment System titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
