Maracaibo, the new strategy game for 1-4 players by Alexander Pfister, the iconic author of bestsellers like Mombasa, Great Western Trail, Port Royal or Blackout Hong Kong. Maracaibo takes place in the Caribbean during the 17th century: various nations find themselves in a constant struggle for domination of those lands, while they strive to consolidate their political and economic power in the area.

Players represent sailors and adventurers sailing the Caribbean (beginning in Havana) and trying to earn the respect of these three nations, establishing strong alliances with each other, with the ultimate goal of achieving fame and wealth. Meanwhile, they will be able to hire assistants to help them in the different ports on their journey through the Caribbean.

You must do everything possible to win, your opponents don't rest and you never know when the end of the round can be unleashed. Only if you manage to successfully carry out your plans, victory will be yours. This can be achieved through a multitude of strategies, focusing on one in particular or trying to scratch points in each and every one of them.

These objectives can be achieved through different strategies:

     Improve our ship and turn it into a powerful ship.
     Participate in battles supporting a nation.
     Work as a privateer.
     Trade.
     Complete missions (players will explore one or several tiles and will be part of a mini story) .
     Explore the inner earth.


In addition to these strategies, Maracaibo offers many more options in the game.

In Maracaibo, the turns pass quickly and fluidly: move your ship between the different locations and perform the space action where you end your movement. At first, the main cities of the Caribbean will be the most powerful actions, but as you establish your own assistants in various ports on the map, new possibilities will open up to you.

Maracaibo also includes a unique story mode: You can optionally play Maracaibo as a campaign, experiencing an exciting story as it progresses. In the process, various surprises change the way the game plays out. It also has an excellent solitaire mode in which you will have to face other players that activate following order patterns and that will give you more than one headache if you want to achieve victory.
