In Oltre Mare, you step into the shoes of a Venetian merchant during the golden age of sailing, exploring the unknown lands of Barbaria. Your goal is to find the most valuable goods and build a rich inventory, trading with other players to get what you need. Load your ship carefully, as the cards you play represent not only goods but also influence your future actions and score. On each turn, you can trade commodities like corn, wine, and spices for other items or money (which also counts as points!). Then, use cards from your hand to perform actions that grant you more money, draw new cards, or move your ship on the map, unlocking special powers. But beware! Pirates are always lurking, adding a layer of risk and tension to your voyage. Strategy is key: trade wisely, choose the right cards for the best actions, and maximize your cargo's profit to become the wealthiest merchant in Venice. The game offers an engaging experience of trade and adventure in the Mediterranean, with a touch of bluffing and negotiation among players. Prepare for a journey full of opportunities and dangers!
