What the community says about Conquest of Paradise

Juego de exploración y conquista. Está ambientado en la polinesia del pacífico y cada jugador lleva una tribu que tiene que expandirse y explorar nuevas islas, colonizarlas y ocasionalmente, invadir y pelear con los vecinos. Hay algo de azar y eso puede hacer que alguien se quede fuera del juego. El juego premia al que va el primero. Cuanto mejor te va, más probable es que te vaya bien. Es entretenido y no muy complicado, aunque el poder quedarte fuera de la partida independientemente de lo bien que hayas jugado no es algo que me atraiga.
