1922, Brazilian hinterlands. As the government turns its back, bands of outlaws write their history through gunfire, dust and strategy. In Terra do Sol, you lead one such group, balancing daring raids, treacherous alliances and the relentless pursuit by police forces. Across eight intense rounds, every decision matters: recruiting armed followers, bargaining with local bosses, hoarding resources and planning attacks that'll echo through folk memory. But beware – while you fight rivals for territory, the law tightens its grip and the drought shows no mercy. With worker placement, area control and variable contracts mechanics, each game becomes a new chapter of outlaw lore, where reputation outweighs gold. In the end, only one gang will be remembered as the most feared – or admired – in the backlands.

Best player count?
Perfect at 3-4, but works with 2 if you enjoy direct confrontation.
Too complex for beginners?
Has a learning curve, but the rulebook explains well. Worth the effort!
Actual playtime?
Between 1h30 and 2h30, depending on player count and group experience.
Need to know Brazilian history?
Not at all! The theme enhances immersion, but mechanics stand on their own.
Luck-dependent or pure strategy?
70% strategy, 30% luck (contracts and some events). Better planning wins.
