How It Plays

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

Set Collection

You're gathering matching groups of cards or tokens to score points — the more complete your sets, the better you do.

Tile Placement

You lay tiles on the table to build a map, landscape, or pattern — every piece you place changes the board.

Variable Player Powers

Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.

About This Game

Santa Maria: Exploration Deck is a mini expansion consisting of five nationality cards and twenty achievement cards. The nationality cards override the standard set-up of resources and coins, and provide each player with a unique starting point. Achievement cards are drafted at the beginning of the game; fulfilled achievements provide bonuses and points to the players.
