🟥MODERN | STRATEGIC | 1-2 PLAYERS  | DURATION 60-90′
GAME DESIGN: ANTONIO VAQUERA

In 1492, Christopher Columbus embarked on a historic voyage that would forever change the course of human history. Believing he had reached the Indies, he landed on a Caribbean Island, unaware that he had stumbled upon a new continent. This momentous event, later known as “The Discovery of America,” marked the beginning of an era of exploration, colonization, and cultural clash.

Sea & Steel: Columbus’ Voyages is a historical board game that immerses players in the tumultuous years following Columbus’s arrival in the Caribbean. Players take on the roles of either the Spanish conquistadors or the indigenous peoples, each with their own unique objectives and challenges.

The game spans the period from 1492 to 1505, encompassing the four voyages of discovery led by Columbus and the subsequent Spanish colonization efforts. Players will use Event Cards, to gain control in the 15 distinct Caribbean land zones. The game incorporates historical events and challenges, such as the construction of palisades, gold mining, and the maintenance of Spanish ships. Players must carefully manage their resources, deploy their units effectively, and adapt their strategies to the ever-changing game state.

The game offers two distinct modes:

  1. Basic Mode: Designed for new players or those seeking a quicker game session.
  2. Advanced Mode: Provides a more in-depth simulation for experienced players.
    Both Basic and Advanced Modes feature a solo play option, allowing a single Spanish player to face off against an AI-controlled indigenous faction.

As the sun sets on July 11, 1943, both sides prepare for the largest tank battle of World War II! Nearly a week of grueling slaughter has finally gained the 1st SS Panzer Division a few kilometers towards their objective: Prokhorovka. So close, yet so far!

The Russian 18th and 29th Tank Corps have been beaten back, but they are not defeated. Replenished with tanks, they will be the sledgehammer in their only planned counterattack. This has to work! It cannot fail!

Both enemies planned their offensives to begin on July 12th, but neither side is aware of the other’s plan. As dawn breaks, the roar of over 300 tanks signals the coming clash.

Now, YOU are in control. YOU are in command! How will your strategy succeed or will it fail in WW2’s greatest, epic, tank battle that history still talks about?

It is ALL IN YOUR HANDS!
