El Grande (DA/SE) - Board games

El Grande – A Strategic Power Struggle in Medieval Spain An award-winning board game where players compete for control of regions through clever decisions and tactical play. Become a Powerful Grande Each player takes on the role of a powerful noble striving to expand their influence across Spain. With caballeros (knights) at your command, you place forces on the board to secure the most valuable regions. Only the player with the sharpest strategy and best overview will earn the king’s favor. Cards, Actions, and Secret Plans Each round, power cards are chosen to determine both turn order and how many knights you can deploy. Action cards then provide special abilities that shift the dynamics of the game. The hidden Castillo tower adds extra tension, as concealed forces are revealed during scoring. Tension Until the Final Round After every third round, the board is scored, and regional majorities determine points. Bonus points can be earned by holding dominance in the king’s region or where your own Grande stands. After nine intense rounds, the player who has best mastered the power struggle is declared the winner.
