Description
Francis Drake transports you to the bustling port of Plymouth in 1572. As an ambitious Elizabethan captain, you prepare for three thrilling voyages to Spanish territories in search of glory and riches!
Compete against other players to plan your missions, ready your ship for departure, and reach the Spanish colonies first. The wealth of the Aztec and Inca empires awaits, but every captain must make tough choices along the way—decide how many crew members, weapons, supplies, and equipment to take, gather intel from informants, and seek favor with the Queen or wealthy investors.
Each new expedition brings fresh challenges, but gathering gold, silver, and jewels earns you the Queen's favor. Prepare for the voyage of a lifetime!

A visually stunning game with high-quality components. The gameplay experience shines brightest with 5 players—the fewer the players, the less intense it gets. At its core, it's a worker placement game where conflict arises mainly from competing for worker spots. However, it’s beautifully themed around the Age of Discovery, and the hidden victory points you collect throughout the game (tossed into luxurious cardboard chests) often reveal an unexpected winner at the end.
Simple rules, low conflict, beautiful visuals, and a great theme make this game an ideal choice for both family game nights and experienced players.
Vizuálně a kvalitou komponentů naprosto úchvatná hra. Herní zážitek je nejsilnější v 5-ti hráčích - čím méně hráčů, tím méně intenzity. V podstatě jde jen o workerplacement, kdy konflikt mezi hráči vzniká hlavně soupeřením o pozice pro workery, nicméně je celkově moc hezky zasazen do tématu zámořských objevů a průběžně získávané skryté vítězné body (házené do luxusních kartonových truhliček) na konci kolikrát odhalí nečekaného vítěze.
Jednoduchá pravidla, nižší míra konfliktu, krásný vizuál a téma z hry dělají ideálního kandidáta, jak pro rodinné hraní, tak pro zkušenější hráče.
