Description

Islas Canarias is a game of strategic settlement and development, where 2 to 5 players compete to build the most valuable island paradise. Designed by Leo Colovini and first published in 2009, this civilization-building game is all about clever hand management and prioritization. Players take turns drawing settler cards and using them to construct houses on their island, following a set of priorities that dictate where each new building can be placed. The twist is that each card has its own set of priorities, such as being near a river, a red building, or the coast, which adds a fun layer of complexity to the game. As players build and develop their islands, they can also earn privilege cards by excelling in specific building colors, and even upgrade their houses to more valuable structures. The game is won by the player who accumulates the most points for their buildings, making it a thrilling competition to see who can create the most thriving island community. With its easy-to-learn rules and playtime of just 45 minutes, Islas Canarias is a great introduction to more complex civilization-building games, and its pirate-themed twist adds a touch of swashbuckling adventure to the mix. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a fun and engaging experience, Islas Canarias is a great choice for anyone looking to explore new horizons.
