How It Plays
Area Majority / Influence
You're competing to have the most presence in key areas on the board — think of it like a friendly turf war.
Auction / Bidding
Players bid against each other for cards, tiles, or resources — knowing when to go big and when to fold is the key.
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
Simultaneous Action Selection
Everyone chooses their action at the same time and reveals together — no waiting around, and plenty of surprises.
About This Game
This expansion for El Grande replaces two different elements from the original game, the action cards and the turn-order cards, with a single set of cards. Prior to the start of the game, players cull their personal play decks to thirteen. Then each turn, they each select one of their cards, which will dictate their turn order priority, the number of caballeros to add to their court, the number of caballeros eligible to add to the board, and their action. This expansion is included in both the 10th Anniversary Edition (Decennial) of El Grande, as well as The El Grande Expansions, and El Grande Big Box Expanded by: El Grande: König & Intrigant – Player's Edition El Grande: König & Intrigant – Unverkäufliche Sonderkarten
