San Marco
Players are attempting to score the most points by building up influence in the districts of Venice via their aristocrats. The game uses a card distribution mechanic whereby (in the case of a four-player game) two players draw cards and divide them up into two piles each, the other two players pick one group and the remaining groups go to the players who formed the groups. The action cards allow players to place and remove aristocrats, erect and move bridges, and score individual regions. The entire game lasts three Passages and each Passage may contain several turns.

What the community says about San Marco
I think it´s a good game, and I feel it can be better if I play it some more times, at the begining you are a bit lost dealing the cards. The components are really beautiful. --- Creo que es un buen juego, y siento que puede ser mejor con más partidas, al pricipio estás un poco perdido al repartir las cartas. Los componentes son realmente bonitos.
Very interesting majority game, with a really clever touch in the card distribution part, which is actually the essence of the game, and the reason to enjoy. Game itself can be even more chaotic than other majority games, since card effects seem to be quite powerful in general. I expected it to be a bit longer, but it plays really smooth. Really beautiful board, very enjoyable.

Es un juego clásico de mayorías, muy cortito. Está pensado básicamente para tres jugadores, aunque admite más. Es un juego con reglas muy básicas, pero muy entretenido. Se juega en tres rondas. En cada una de ellas, un jugador es el distribuidor y otros dos los receptores por orden. El receptor recibe 6 cartas de acción y 4 de catigo y las distribuye en tres grupos. Después cada receptor en orden elige un grupo y ejecuta las acciones asociadas al grupo, así como se queda con el castigo. El último en escoger es el distribuidor. Cuando un jugador llega a tener 10 o más de castigo, los otros dos

Un grandísimo juego de mayorías, que puede llegar a agobiar si se quiere jugar controlando cada movimiento. Si se juega con la dosis justa de 'downtime', es un juego excepcional.
Para 3 jugadores es: EL JUEGO! La mecánica es novedosa, te mete en muchos quebraderos de cabeza y en mas de un dilema (lo malo es que tiende al análisis parálisis) pero nos encanta!!!
