Description
In the Elizabethan era, the legend of Sir Francis Drake lives on, and now it's your turn to emulate the hero of the English and the pirate of the Spanish. The Montezuma's Legacy Expansion brings a fresh twist to the Francis Drake game, replacing the Spanish Galleons and their accompanying jewels with the treasure of the Aztecs. As you chart your course towards the riches of the Aztec and Incan Empires, you'll complete three missions and navigate the high seas with up to four other players, all vying for the top spot. With the Aztec Relic now up for grabs, the stakes are higher than ever. On each voyage, the relic is put into play, and if you're lucky enough to capture a galleon, you'll get to add it to your treasure chest. The relic is scored at the end of the game, giving you a chance to earn some serious points. The game rules are straightforward, so if you're familiar with board games, you'll have no problem diving right in. Designed by Peter Hawes, this expansion builds on the original game, adding a new layer of complexity and excitement to the mix. You'll need to balance your mission objectives with the pursuit of treasure, all while navigating the dangers of the sea. A typical game of Francis Drake with the Montezuma's Legacy Expansion will take around 120 minutes to play, giving you plenty of time to immerse yourself in the world of 16th-century exploration and piracy. With its unique blend of nautical adventure and exploration, this expansion is a must-have for fans of the original game. So gather your crew and set sail for the New World, where riches and glory await. The Montezuma's Legacy Expansion is the perfect way to breathe new life into the Francis Drake game, and with its normal complexity level, it's easy to learn and start playing right away.
