Come whenever you dare! - ¡Venid cuando queráis!

2 Players | 60-90 Mins | Ages 14+

Features: Campaign / Battle Card Driven, Card Play Conflict Resolution, Simulation, Zone of Control

Theme: Dice, Pike and Shot, Wargame

Description:

A 2-player game, with asymmetrical sides, both in units and victory conditions: The Spanish are conducting a desperate defense.

In Castelnuovo 1539, you will manage your army using vertical wooden blocks with stickers, and you will not be able to see the types of units your opponent has.

The board is divided into zones, and you will have other types of resources such as cannon batteries, walls, bastions, trenches, etc.

Battles are played by rolling 6-sided dice and using a deck of cards for each side, allowing you to give orders, improve your battles, dig trenches and trigger special events.

Components:

  • 1 Game Board (74 x 54 cm)
  • 16 Six-sided Dice
  • 72 Command Cards
  • 1 Sticker Sheet for the wooden blocks
  • 1 Rulebook with historical commentary
  • 2 Player Aid Sheets
  • 98 Wooden Markers
