Description

Under the Southern Cross is a game that will transport you to the tumultuous era of the fighting sail, where you'll navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries between the South American Republics. With 1 to 4 players taking on the roles of these emerging nations, you'll engage in a thrilling struggle for power and influence, using a combination of dice rolling, grid movement, and strategic planning to outmaneuver your opponents. The game's hexagon grid and movement points system add a layer of depth and realism, simulating the challenges of naval warfare and exploration in the post-Napoleonic era. Be prepared to invest some time in learning the rules, but the payoff is well worth it - with playtimes ranging from 150 to 480 minutes, you'll be fully immersed in the world of 19th-century naval politics and conflict, thanks to the meticulous design of Steve Paul and Mike Nagel, who brought this epic game to life in 2023.
