Carolvs Magnvs — board game details

About the game

What is Carolvs Magnvs

This game uses a collection of smallish hexagon clusters arranged in a circle. Mercenaries, in the form of small wooden blocks, are placed onto the land pieces. Players can then use these blocks to attempt to gain control of the corresponding mercenary type, or place the same small blocks onto the board which can help the player who controls that color.

Once a player has majority of control markers on a piece of land, he can build a tower there. The tower serves as a semi-permanent control marker, as well as a way to win. If two land pieces are controlled by the same player, the land pieces are combined into one, which makes the position harder to take by the other players.

The first player to place a set number of towers wins the game, but the game can also end when the land masses are reduced to three or fewer, in which case the player with the most towers placed wins.

Un buen y curioso juego de mayorías, considerado la obra maestra de su diseñador, para mi solo tien una pega, su rejugabilidad es limitada, quizás una 2o partidas antes de ocupar el estante de los juegos ocasionales.

Juego de mayorías. De los mejores juegos de Leo Colovini, junto con Incognito. Interesantes las variantes, para reducir el azar de los dados. Probar primero con 2 jugadores, luego una vez dominado, ya con 3 y 4.
