Magellan: Elcano (ML)
- In stock, ready to ship
September 20, 1519 — the cannons thunder as five ships set sail toward the unknown. In Magellan: Elcano, you take command of one of these vessels, racing to gather the most valuable goods as you sail around the globe.
Each player starts with an identical deck of 15 cards, showing colored values on each side. In each round, three ocean cards (red, blue, and green) are revealed. You’ll play cards in front of you, choosing when to commit strength and when to bluff. The captain who bids the highest in each color wins that ocean card — but others recover their cards for future rounds.
Smart timing and efficient hand management are key to victory. Magellan: Elcano delivers a fast, strategic experience with a simple ruleset, ideal for families and casual gamers alike.
You’ll enjoy Magellan: Elcano if you love quick, clever card games with historical flair and a touch of bidding tension. Best at 3–4 players.
