About the game

What is Endeavor

It is a time when the maps of the world are still being filled in. Seagoing empires expand their frontiers by sending ships to the farthest reaches of the globe in search of new lands, new alliances, and new conquests. The wealth of the newly-discovered worlds abroad is a tempting prize for those with the strength and the cunning to seize it... and to hold it!

You represent a growing empire engaged in a glorious endeavor to expand your

influence and status at home and across the great oceans of the world. Through exploration and shipping, colonization and war, you will struggle with the other great powers to control the resources and the regions that unfold before you.

The goal in Endeavor is to earn the most glory for your empire. Players earn glory by increasing their scores in Industry, Culture, Finance, and Politics, as well as by occupying cities, controlling connections between cities, and by holding certain Asset Cards and Building Tiles. Short-term goals of constructing useful buildings, gathering Trade Tokens, and obtaining Asset Cards must be balanced with the overall goal of attaining glory as you compete for control over the various regions of the world. The game only lasts seven rounds, and when it is over you want to be the one who has earned the most Glory points!

Very good game in the line of Puerto Rico. Developement and place occupation, and some possible confrontation between players (what PR was missing for some!). Based on only one play, but it only seems to get better.

Comprada la edición holandesa en pedido a bélgica en Julio 2012. Al final no me cogió el dinero Marc, y me lo regaló por mi cumple, junto con el brass. Juego de gestión de recursos en los que cada jugador tiene que colonizar, abrir nuevas rutas de comercio, comerciar, etc. El tablero está plagado de recursos y cada uno de ellos te permite mejorar factores del jugador que le permitiran hacer sus acciones con más efectividad. El tablero está dividido en zonas. Hay recursos que se obtienen al conectar fortalezas adyacentes.. dentro de cada zona se aplica una mecánica de mayorías. En resume

Juego aceptable, pero que funciona sólo con 4 y 5 jugadores y es mejor con 5. He tenido que hacer un apaño para jugar a 3 jugadores, y parece que funcionó.

Muy buen eurogame, perfecto para 4 o mejor 5 jugadores. Entretenido y rápido, es más la partida se acaba antes de que te des cuenta, dando la sensación que podrías hacer todavía más.
