Navegador Board Game

الوصف

In the 15th century, the Portuguese Prince Henry the Navigator (Henrique o Navegador) summoned the best cartographers and top navigators of his time and instructed them to explore the shores of the African coastline. They thereby won expertise in navigation and shipbuilding, heralding the Age of Exploration and enabling Portugal to later to find a direct trade route to India and China. In the height of its power Portugal controlled the sea trade from Brazil to Japan and attained overwhelming wealth with the trade monopoly on spices.The players represent wealthy trade dynasties that help to build up the Portuguese colonial empire. Tracing the routes of famous explorers they advance all the way to Nagasaki--but sailing into unknown waters is a dangerous venture. Founding colonies and building factories helps them to build up an economic base. But the prices for sugar, gold and spices fluctuate all the time, and only the trade dynasty that adapts to the market will be able to finance its lofty plans. Competing for new discoveries, colonies, shipyards, and churches it is very important to observe the actions of the other players.Navegador for 2 to 5 players is a challenging strategy game with a little luck, because no-one knows exactly what to expect when discovering new sea regions. Player's turns follow simple rules and are executed on a rondel, which leads to a fluent play experience.Game Contents:36 ships 5 workers5 game stones12 wooden disks10 churches10 shipyards23 factories3 price markers5 player sheets33 colony tokens35 privilege tokens1 Navegador card2 markers for double loss of shipscoins in 10, 50, 100, or 200 Cruzados1 game board1 game rules1 quick intro1 almanac of historical personsDimensions (Overall): 2.0 inches (L) x 11.0 inches (W) x 15.5 inches (H)Suggested Age: 13 Years and UpWeight: 3.3 poundsType of Game: Strategy and war gamesCPSC Choking Hazard Warnings: Choking_hazard_small_partsNumber of Players: 2-5 PlayersTCIN: 76109960If the item details above aren’t accurate or complete, we want to know about it.
