Description
In Magellan: Elcano, you're a captain on a ship circumnavigating the world, collecting as many goods as possible. The game is simple to learn, with each player having an identical deck of 15 cards and starting with five random cards in hand. These cards have values in two colors, and three decks of ocean cards lie in the center of the table. Players take turns playing cards from their hand, building up to three piles in different colors, and rotating cards to make them one color or another. The player with the highest total in each color claims the matching ocean card, and the game continues until all players' decks are empty. With 2 to 5 players and a playtime of 15 to 30 minutes, Magellan: Elcano is a quick and engaging game of auction and hand management, perfect for a fun and competitive experience.
