Santiago de Cuba
Welcome to Santiago, the second largest city in Cuba, home of legendary rum and birthplace of the revolution! The chaotic streets hum with the sounds of bustling crowds and busy commerce. Cargo ships constantly arrive and depart from the port. Demand is continuous, if unpredictable, for a supply of local products such as exotic fruits, sugar, rum, tobacco, and cigars.
What is Santiago de Cuba
Welcome to Santiago, the second largest city in Cuba, home of legendary rum and birthplace of the revolution! The chaotic streets hum with the sounds of bustling crowds and busy commerce. Cargo ships constantly arrive and depart from the port. Demand is continuous, if unpredictable, for a supply of local products such as exotic fruits, sugar, rum, tobacco, and cigars.
In Santiago de Cuba, your business card says "broker", but in reality you're a shady wheeler-dealer who arranges deals with the locals and with corruptible officials to move goods and meet the demand of those ever-present cargo ships – and your ability to procure these goods is only as reliable as your "connections".
At the start of the game, nine locals – the Cubans – are randomly arranged on a path around Santiago, with the port being the tenth location on the circuit. Each Cuban has a different ability: e.g., give a player two tobacco, give a player a good of his choice, force opponents to give you something, give money or victory points (VPs), and seize a building or allow a player to use a previously seized building. What are these buildings? At the start of the game, twelve buildings are randomly placed on the game board in four color-coded groups (white, yellow, etc.) of three. As with the Cubans, these buildings give players a special ability when used: convert tobacco to cigars, change VPs to money or vica versa, increase the value of goods delivered to the ship, render a Cuban inactive for the next round, and so on.
Players will deliver goods to seven ships throughout the course of the game. The demand for each ship is determined via a die roll; the active player rolls five dice – one for each type of good – then chooses four of the values rolled to represent demand for goods of the same color as the die.

What the community says about Santiago de Cuba
Un eurogame ligero con unas mecánicas muy sencillas y que es ideal para introducir a nuevos jugadores, funciona bien a 2, barato y fácil de transportar, sin duda un imprescindible.
En: PILARES DE LA TIERRA
[ESP] Se me hace muy buena alternativa para enseñar colocación de trabajadores a nuevos jugadores. Bastante simple y acotado en cuánto que acción tomar, ya que no sólo pueden ocupar el lugar que deseas sino que también depende del lugar en que se ubique el taxi y cuánto quieras y puedas pagar.
de 2 a 4, tablero A 2 parece un poco repetititivo ya que si no avanzas el coche haras siempre lo mismo. Los biombos son de risa pero los componentes son de una calidad extrema, seguro que gana con mas gente aunque he leido por ahi que cuando mas brilla es a 2 ¿? no lo entiendo. Despues de jugar a 4 me gusta mas
Very nice, fast and fun game. It is a kind of double rondel mechanism, where you select a character in a rondel, which afterwards sends you to a building. The combination character-building will be different each game. The idea in the end is to produce and send different products to get VP. The capacity of the ship is decided with dice in a nice way. Once you know rules, it can be played in 30-40 minutes. 2 player games become quite tactic since the position of the car can be more controlled, and also you know each others commodities.

Por el precio que tiene te llevas un eurogame bastante graciosete y rejugable!
Euro sencillo, sin pretesiones pero tremendamente agardable de jugar. Mecanicas sencillas y rejugable por la configuracion de personajes y edificios y el factor azar de la demanda del barco. El unico pero es que no me acaba de gustar a 4 jugadores. me jor 3 y muy bien a 2. La calidad precio de los componetes es ESPECTACULAR
