Description

In Embarcadero, you're a savvy entrepreneur in 1850s San Francisco, capitalizing on the Gold Rush frenzy. The game is set on the abandoned ships in the harbor, which become the foundation for the city's thriving business district, the embarcadero. As a player, you'll build and expand your empire on these ships, vying for control of the wharves and a seat on the city council. With 1 to 4 players competing over 60 to 90 minutes, Embarcadero offers a fun and challenging experience. The game's normal complexity makes it accessible to board game enthusiasts, who will enjoy the combination of area majority, hand management, and tile placement mechanics. As you navigate the game's three rounds, you'll need to strategically play cards and place tiles to earn points and influence, all in a bid to rule the waterfront and become the ultimate embarcadero mogul.
