Description

In Santo Domingo, you'll be competing with 1 to 5 other players to collect goods and exchange them for victory points. The game is easy to learn, and a typical play session lasts around 20 to 30 minutes. Each round, you'll choose one or two action cards from your set of eight, and then reveal them simultaneously with the other players. The actions are executed in a fixed order, allowing you to collect goods, trade them in for points, or even receive points directly. The twist is that the strength of your card depends on what the other players have chosen, adding a layer of bluffing and strategy to the game. With a limited supply of goods and points available each round, you'll need to think carefully about which cards to play and when. Designed by Stefan Risthaus and published in 2017, Santo Domingo is a fun and engaging economic card game that's perfect for 2 to 6 players looking for a quick and exciting challenge.
