El Capitán, a game that is based upon
Tycoon but with many improvements and upgrades.
The game is now playable with 2-5 players (instead of 2-4); it has 11 new groundbreaking rules, and on top of it all, expansions and a whole new exciting look!
All together we have now the following changes/improvements for the basic game:
- new grouping of the cities on the game board
- new payout table for distribution
- 3 new Distribution Cards
- new rules for the forts
- start money is 20 florins instead of 15
- place up 4 multi travel cards instead of 2
- new rule for the loan cards (not allowed in the first turn)
- new start player after a payday (a special start player figure is added)
- building up to 12 (instead of only 9) warehouses in a city
- limitation of warehouses in series (limited to 3 now)
- a rule for the first warehouse in a city
Also included is the first expansion "Portuguese Powers" with some extra city boards and strategy!!
There are now special rules for 2 or 3 players (extra renovation fields) and a special rule for 2 players (payday and additional warehouses).
The game was published in October 2007 by QWG Games in the Benelux, by Pro Ludo in Germany, by Ystari Games in France, and by Z-Man Games in USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, and Ireland.
The wonderful artwork is the work of the talented Mike Doyle. See more information about this project and others on his weblog: http://mdoyle.blogspot.com/
