Calling all fans of strategy survival games!  One of the best strategy games we've played in a while is The Island of El Dorado!

In The Island of El Dorado, players are brave explorers seeking to discover and control the island’s four shrines.  The year is 1589, and the world is thirsty for gold. Legend has it that somewhere on the vast ocean lies the island of El Dorado, where gold flows over the hills. Brave explorers set sail in search of the mythical island and their ships find themselves on its shores. They begin to explore and find that this place holds much more than gold: It hides four mysterious shrines of untold power.

The Island of El Dorado is an easy-to-learn strategy game that’s a mix of classic Euro, 4X, civilization, war and race games! Tile laying, combat and resource management elegantly come together to create a memorable experience for both novice and veteran gamers. Bold exploration, epic battles and unforeseen comebacks will have players out of their seats and pacing the room! It’s a new game every time it’s played with the tons of map layouts, each with a unique size and landscape, plus unique character abilities that call for different strategies. The Island of El Dorado is best for 2 to 4 players, ages 14 to adult.
