Cubaneo^*

Cubaneo is an economic game by Michael Rieneck and Stefan Stadler from Deep Print Games and Pegasus Spiele, set in Cuba before the Revolution. For ages 12 and up and playing in 75 to 120 minutes, you trade goods, ship them from the harbour, construct buildings and push acts through parliament – a gamer's game of auctions, markets and voting.

What's it about?

Cuba in turbulent times: the island's cities strive for independent wealth and influence. You try to trade products and commodities profitably on the domestic market or via merchant ships, send influential delegates to parliament and build distilleries, hotels and banks.

How it plays

The goal is to gain more victory points than everyone else by:

1. shipping goods in the harbour,
2. constructing buildings and using their abilities,
3. implementing acts that change the rules of the game.

Auctions, a goods market and a variable phase order keep each round different.

What makes it special?

The acts are the hook: whoever organises a majority in parliament can bend the rules in their favour. Combined with bidding and voting, this creates plenty of interaction around the table.

Who is it for?

Experienced players aged 12 and up who enjoy economic games with trading, building and interaction. It is available in both a German and an English edition.
