The Conquistadors: The Spanish Conquest of the Americas 1518-1548
Conquistadors compete to discover and loot the civilizations of Central and South America, seeking the most gold and power.

Card-driven and procedural play includes sudden attacks, ransoms, uprisings, defections, colonial politics, and exploration. Basic, Standard, optional, and solitaire scenarios support one to five players.
