PLAYED FOR YOU

El Grande Big Box

new after 20 Years

As a Grande you use 30 Caballeros to acquire majorities in various regions and to increase your influence at court. In each round you choose a power card for turn order and Caballero movement from stock to court. An action card determines movement of caballeros from court into regions and gives you options for scoring. Every three rounds you score the state of the game and win after nine rounds with most points.

This new edition on occasion of the 20 Year Anniversary comes with all expansions:

Großinquisitor & Kolonien - With ships caballeros can now reach the colonies; additional cards introduce more actions and the Grand Inquisitor overthrows power structures. Grandissimo introduces new options, you can begin a revolt or imprison the King while Jester and Queen use their potential. König & Intrigant - The cards in this expansion replace the cards of the core game and change the game fundamentally. König & Intrigant 2 - the former Player’s Edition comprises 55 cards that were designed by fans of the game. König & Intrigant 3 features the cards coming from the former edition „Unverkäufliche Sonderkarten“ and comes with suitable components. The Jubiläumserweiterung is new and consists of five tiles, so-called pennants; they are placed under a Caballero in his home region and decide ties for their owners. Pennant carriers cannot transport anything, but can become Captain or Viceroy; if necessary the pennant can be given to another Caballero.

El Grande is grandiose, not only the game itself with all those fantastic expansions that complement the game wonderfully, but also as regards to design and components of the new edition.
