El Grande
DESCRIPTION
Spain in the 15th century: the conflict between Christian and Muslim rulers for supremacy in the country has been raging for almost 700 years. Spain is divided into several kingdoms, counties, provinces and an emirate. Catholics and Moors, but also Basques, Galicians and Catalans are fighting for supremacy in various areas. The influential grandees, the country’s high nobility, play a decisive role in this. They send their brave knights, the caballeros, to conquer new regions. Their influence grows with every castle they are able to conquer and defend.
Who will win the battle for Spain and become ‘El Grande’?

Is the game right for me
This reprint of the Game of the Year 1996 is still an awesome and easily understandable area-controll classic.
