From the Librarian: Cartagena is a strategic board game where players race to escape a treacherous prison by moving their pirates through a series of tunnels. Each move requires careful planning, as players must balance forward progress with drawing new cards. If you enjoy tactical gameplay, puzzle-solving, and the thrill of a daring escape, Cartagena is the perfect game for you.
From the Publisher: First, you can choose which part of the story to play. The basic-game reproduces only the first part of the jailbreak: the escape from the fortress to the sloop; but you may also choose to play the second part through the island of Tortuga or the whole story as well. You can also shorten or stretch the game, varying the number of board segments and/or pirates.
Then, you can give a try to the Morgan version. It’s an alternative way of recharging cards, which will force you to explore completely new strategies.
Finally, you can land to the Black Magic Woman system. Things change here. Whatever scenario and version you choose, everything becomes magical and each card acquires a special and intriguing power: it’s up to you to decide when and where to use them.
Not enough for you? Easy! You’ll find more nice surprises!
