Maracaibo Digital - Board Game

Spiralburst Studio

About this game

The official adaptation of Alexander Pfister's award-winning strategy board game for 1 to 4 players.

Play as an adventurer and sail around the Caribbean! Upgrade your ship, complete quests, and engage in combat. Every card you buy will unlock new abilities and bonuses to outwit your opponents. Cards can also be used in multiple ways; you will need to decide whether to buy them for their effects or deliver them as valuable goods.

The board changes every round, and your strategy will have to keep up. Will you play slowly, buying as many cards as you can? Or will you race to the final space to catch your opponents by surprise?

Ratings and reviews

Great boardgame ported to this digital version. But, it's so buggy. The game crashes whenever I increase the attack power with attack points. Also, whenever the main deck runs out and there's no more cars to draw, the game will crash. Also, this could be a rules policy, but whenever cards are used to purchase things they are out of that game session. There is also a card that is broken because it does not cost any gold. If these bugs were fixed then I'd give this game a 5/5.

Fun game. The print is a little small and you have to squint sometimes if you're nearsighted. But the map and the theme do give you a nice Caribbean adventure in a box. A little bit of everything from sea combat to trade and exploration. Edit: Some of the quests fail to activate and remain stuck on the board with nothing you can do to move them along. Really messes up campaign mode.

I've had the physical version for months and have muddled my way through the manual and an intro solo game multiple times, but picking up the app finally helped pull the pieces together for me. The UI is a little overwhelming (a criticism of the game more than the implementation) and there are a few menu bugs, but overall really impressed with the launch version. The explanation text on the cards is a huge help and a great way to deal with limited screen space. I highly recommend.
