About the game
In Caracas, you are a 19th-century explorer following in the footsteps of Alexander von Humboldt to map South America. The game is a spatial puzzle where you connect land tiles to your map, trying to maximize your score by the end. Each turn is quick and engaging, as you already know which tile you’ll place next, while other players take their turns. The strategy is deep: you need to balance collecting common and rare animals while carefully planning the landscape to avoid penalties. Interaction is subtle but present, as you can peek at other players’ puzzles while thinking about your next move. With route-building and tile-placement mechanics, Caracas is a light but challenging game, perfect for fans of spatial puzzles and exploration themes.
