DESCRIPTION OF THE BOARD GAME EL GRANDE 2.0

The board game "El Grande" is a recognized classic of territory control, first released back in 1995. The game has won a number of major European competitions, in particular, it won the "Spiel des Jahres 1996". To this day, the game is included in the top 100 games of all time according to the version of "BoardGameGeek". Edition 2.0 contains both an updated basic version of the game and two mini-add-ons to it.

The game "El Grande" takes players to 15th century Spain, divided into many kingdoms, counties and principalities. In each region, aristocrats - grandees and their loyal caballeros - are trying to seize power. Players are invited to start from one single region and expand their influence throughout the country in conditions of difficult ethnic and social confrontation.

GAME PROCESS

The game lasts 9 rounds, with three more rounds for scoring victory points. The goal of the game is to gain advantage in the various provinces of Spain and Castile. The struggle is complicated by the movement of the king, which does not tolerate changes in strength in the province it is in, as well as by the selection of action cards each round and the secret choice of provinces to which the opposing caballeros will go after the points are counted.

Each round will consist of several steps:

• Revealing Action Cards . The action cards are divided into 5 separate piles, and each round you will discard the top card from the pile to reveal the next one. The only exception is the fifth pile, which will always have the king card face up. The face up top cards in the 5 piles will represent the actions that will be available for selection by players in that round.
• Draw influence cards. All players secretly choose, and then, starting with the first player, reveal the chosen cards in turn. The higher the value of the action card, the earlier the player will choose an action card in the row. But be careful, because power cards also allow you to send caballeros from regions to your "court" (an intermediate location from which you can send figures further during this turn): the higher the value of the card, the fewer caballeros you can send.
• Player moves. Players take turns depending on the denomination of the influence cards played (the player with the lowest denomination goes last). During his turn, the player must first move the corresponding number of caballeros to the "court". After that, he chooses an action card and performs its two effects. The first effect will be specific to each card: you can move a caballero or even a king, veto the actions of other players or directly influence their movements, etc. Remember: the region in which the king's figure is located is "frozen" and you can interact with it only if directly indicated in the text of the card. But the second action will allow you to move a certain number of caballeros from the "court" to the provinces adjacent to the king's. You can place the figures in several provinces of your choice. After the turn, place the played card at the bottom of the corresponding pile: it will no longer be available for selection by other players.
• End of round. Place the action cards not used by the players at the bottom of the appropriate pile, and then all participants send the influence cards used in this round to their discard pile. These influence cards cannot be used again during the game. The participant who played the influence card with the lowest denomination this round receives the first player token and must be the first to reveal his power card in the next round.

SCORING

• First, the players take the province selection discs and secretly place an arrow on one of them - to which their caballeros will set off from Castile. Place the discs face down.
• After that, the participants raise the Castile tower, pour out their figures from there and receive victory points according to the majority: the player with the first number of caballeros receives 5 VP, the next 3 VP and the third 1 VP.
• Turn the discs face up. All participants move their figures from Castile to the secretly chosen provinces.
• Count the points for the provinces - each one will have a table for counting from the first player to the third player. You can also get bonus points for being in the majority in a province with a king token and in regions with your grande (larger than a caballero) token.

After the scoring is complete in the ninth round, the participant with the most points wins.
