Description Edit | History

This Wolfgang Kramer offering is widely overlooked because it came out on the heels of his other very successful game, El Grande.

0 Tycoon scoring table overlay - El Capitán Style
This is a rather quick and dirty photoshop job on a scoring table overlay based on the changes in El Capitán. It's to scale so you can print it out and put it on top of the old table. I've also included spaces for the bonuses you get for establishing in nine cities. The players can just use one of their extra factories to put in the bonus space (you only need three factories when playing El Capitán style, so there are a couple to spare.
