Set sail for the Caribbean of the 17th century, where fortune favors the bold and every wave hides an opportunity. Designed by acclaimed game creator Alexander Pfister, Maracaibo drops 1 to 4 players into a world of colonial rivalry, where three competing nations vie for power and only the shrewdest captain will rise to lasting fame. Over four eventful rounds, you’ll chart a course across the map, forge alliances, and build your reputation one bold decision at a time.
At its heart, Maracaibo is a card driven journey of growth and opportunity. Upgrade your humble boat into a formidable ship, take on rival vessels in tense confrontations, launch expeditions into uncharted waters, or complete quests that reward patience and planning. Every choice nudges you closer to influence and wealth, but timing is everything: a round can end suddenly, rewarding those who read the tide of play and punishing those who linger too long.
What truly sets Maracaibo apart is its story mode, an optional campaign layer that lets you experience an unfolding narrative across multiple plays, complete with twists that reshape how the game unfolds each time. Whether played as a standalone strategic showdown or as a sweeping campaign, Maracaibo delivers roughly 30 to 40 minutes of play per player and rewards both careful strategists and daring opportunists alike, making it a standout addition for any collection of modern strategy games.
