Description

[Edit] [History]

Although called the sequel to El Grande, El Caballero shares very few aspects with its namesake. This game is a fun but intense brain-burner in which players explore and attempt to control the lands and waterways of the New World. 'Exploration' in El Caballero consists of picking and placing land tiles that are most favorable to you, and 'control' is attained by having the most caballeros camped on the edges of the resulting land masses.
