About the game

What is Mundus Novus

Spain, 16th century. You are a powerful ship owner in search of wealth from the recently discovered Mundus Novus (New World). Your goal: Charter fleets of caravels to collect valuable goods (including the legendary Inca relics) and trade to form the best sets to expand your business empire and make your fortune.

The game is played using two decks of cards: a deck of resource cards, which contains cards representing ten different resources, and a deck of development cards, which give special benefits to their owners. The game is played in rounds, with each round consisting of four phases:

Each round starts with the Event phase, in which a random event may occur that affects all players.

The next phase is the Supply phase. Each player receives five random resource cards, plus one resource card for each caravel (a type of development card) that he owns, chosen from a common pool.

Sentencia_JG7.5/10

2-6 J. (3-4 mejor). (1-II-2016) Es un juego bastante táctico por las decisiones que puedes tomar a lo largo de un turno. Lo mejor es que es una gozada ver cómo crece tu empresa a medida que vas adquiriendo desarrollos pero es un juego muy rápido y como te descuides, alguien puede conseguir las 75 monedas antes que tú. La fase de comercio y la de mantenimiento resultan un tanto farragosas.
