This is a brilliant auction game with lots to keep it from getting stale too soon. It is very easy to figure out how to play, difficult (or tricky perhaps) to decide the BEST way to play, and enjoyable each playing.
There is no luck, and with four different board set-ups, …
Fund explorers and conquistadors to earn fame and fortune!
In this auction-based game, players take the roles of the Kings who bid to hire the services of the best and most daring explorers. They do so by offering them the ducats they need to finance their explorations.
When a king makes the highest offer, he pays the money and sends his explorer on his journey. By hiring Magellan, for example, a king can earn fame and a small return on his investment; Marco Polo can fill his benefactors gold vaults; while Christopher Columbus can earn his king important victory points that can lead to victory in the game.
As the game progresses, competition for the explorers services increases as each explorer has fewer and fewer expeditions available for investment. In the end, only one ship for each explorer will make the final trip and give the king who invests in the journey the reward for his support.
Box contains:
- 36 explorer cards
- 63 ducat cards
- 2 double-sided game boards
- 36 wooden boats in 6 colors
