You
can see in the distance the bountiful land that the seafarer has
dreamed of during his long voyage. The king will be proud of his
explorer!
The players take the roles of the Kings who bid to hire the services
of the best and most daring explorers. They do so by offering
them the ducats they need to finance their explorations. When
a king makes the highest offer, he pays the money and sends his
explorer on his journey. By hiring Magellan, for example, a king
can earn fame and a small return on his investment. Marco Polo
can fill his benefactor's gold vaults while Christopher Columbus
can earn his king important victory points that can lead to victory
in the game. As the game progresses, competition for the explorers'
services increases as each explorer has fewer and fewer expeditions
available for investment. In the end, only one ship for each explorer
will make the final trip and give the king who invests in the
journey the reward for his support.
A thrilling auction game for fame and honor!
