Description

Get ready to set sail for the high seas in Pax Hispanica, a thrilling board game for 1 to 5 players. Designed by Phil Eklund and published in 2024, this game drops you into the 17th century, where the Spanish crown reigns supreme and the Caribbean is a hotbed of piracy, smuggling, and adventure. You'll take on the role of a Spanish, English, French, Dutch, or Courish lad with big ambitions, whether that's becoming a great courtier, emancipator, or pirate. Your goal is to navigate the treacherous waters of the Spanish Main, transporting, plundering, smuggling, or ambushing valuable cargo to finance your own ambitions. As you sail from island to island, you'll need to master a range of skills, from area movement and auction bidding to push your luck and secret unit deployment. With four different career choices and victories to aim for, each game of Pax Hispanica is a unique and challenging experience. Be prepared to negotiate, outwit, and outmaneuver your opponents as you battle for control of the seas. With a playtime of 60 to 150 minutes, Pax Hispanica is a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and its complexity will reward multiple plays. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a new adventure, Pax Hispanica is a great choice, and with several expansions already available, there's plenty of scope to extend your gameplay experience.
