Sea & Steel: Columbus' Voyages

Experience the challenges and encounters of Columbus' voyages in the Caribbean. In this strategic game for one or two players, the Spanish forces seek to conquer Caribbean islands while the Taíno and Carib forces resist the new threat and manage internal conflicts. Players reveal events, deploy reinforcements, move units, conduct combat, build, raid, and search for gold across six turns covering 1492–1505. Spanish control raises the Victory Point track, while Indigenous control lowers it; the side with the stronger position at the end, or the last units remaining, wins.
