El Grande is finally back! After nearly 30 years, Hans im Gluck has completely overhauled their favourite area control game, and gives their most anticipated classic a fresh coat.
El Grande is set in 15th-century Spain, at the end of the Reconquista. The players send out their caballeros to gain control over the 9 regions and become "El Grande". However, everything depends on the location of the king and majorities may shift in the blink of an eye.
Players take turns depending on which power card they play. On each turn, players choose 1 of 5 action cards, allowing them to place caballeros on the map and perform a special action. After 3 rounds, they gain points depending on the majorities in the different regions and extra points for the majority in the current "kingdom" and their home region. After 9 rounds total, somebody will be the new ruler of medieval Spain.
