El Dorado: Game of the world's hidden Treasures

Acerca de

Game hails from the heydays of Parker Brothers Company regarding their game components quality and design. On the other side this is a nightmare for game collectors, as the box measures 20×14×2 inches. Add a gameboard twice its size, other game components and both box halves made of ultra-thick cardboard, a book containing all the game's treasures of the world and their descriptions and last but not least metal game pieces, and you have a game weight of over 3 kg. Gameplay is simple but fun for the whole family. Out of nearly 100 cards you get a random set of 5. They show the treasures you have to find and to dig out. You travel one of the numerous routes on the board depicting a world map to reach your destination as fast as possible. In order to do this there is a clever system how to use your dice roll. When you reach your destination you take 2 special dice, pay the digging fee and try your luck. To enhance your treasure income, you can choose whenever you want to unearth one of the nearly 50 additional pirate treasures. But destination is hidden, and if luck is not on your side, you have to travel round the globe to reach it, and you are not allowed to skip it! Game ends when the first player reaches home port after his last treasure of the initial 5 has been lifted, but winner is the one with the most income. Highlight of the game are the pawns: Tiny little petroleum lanterns made of metal in 6 different colours.
