About the game

What is Navegador

This game is inspired by the Portuguese Age of Discoveries in the 15th-16th century. Players take actions such as contracting workers, acquiring ships and buildings, sailing the seas, establishing colonies in discovered lands, trading goods on the market, and getting privileges.

Each player starts with only two ships and three workers and tries to expand his wealth.

There are several lands that, once sailed to, allow players to found colonies. Colonies exist in different places where sugar, gold and spices are available and can be sold to the market to make some money. Money is used to build ships, erect buildings such as factories, shipyards and churches, and to get workers. Workers are necessary to found colonies or to acquire buildings and privileges, which exist in five categories and therefore encourage players to follow different strategies competing with each other.

At the end of the game the player who is most successful in combining their privileges with their achievements (colonies, factories, discoveries, shipyards, and churches) is the winner.

Cada jugador debe intentar obtener el máximo de puntos, a través de varios parámetros y haciendo valer un tablero de multiplicadores. Se puede puntuar por número de trabajadores, número de barcos, puntos de exploración, colonias, astilleros, catedrales y alguna cosa mas. La partida se desarrolla en tres fases que se van activando a medida que los barcos van avanzando por el mar. El final llega cuando tres barcos llegan a la ultima zona. Los costes de las cosas varían de una fase a otra. Interesante sistema de mercado para conseguir dinero. Las acciones se escogen mediante un rondel de accione

Has very much the handwriting of Max Gerdts (Concordia), felt i little easier than concordia, yet still interesting, solid components and design, i just played 5 players so far.

I did like it more than Concordia, coming from the same author Somehow I feel more like sailing in this one than the other. The little stock market mechanic based just only on supply and demand creates a good differential in this game and interesting dynamics I'd play more Navegador than Concordia indeed
