About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for more excitement on your journey to El Dorado! This expansion brings two new modules that will spice up the race. The "Dangers" module injects some adrenaline with obstacles like treacherous crocodiles, dangerous rapids, and temples guarding secret keys to the golden city. For those who enjoy an extra challenge, you can mix it all up with new cave tokens, ensuring each game is a unique adventure full of surprises. The "Muisca" module introduces a mysterious tribe that, believe it or not, is on your side! They want to help you blaze the trail, adding an extra layer of strategy and cooperation (or is it competition?) to your treasure hunt. This expansion is perfect for those who have already mastered the base game and want more variety, more challenges, and more twists in their expedition. The new mechanics and components integrate smoothly, maintaining the core racing and hand management essence we love in The Quest for El Dorado, but elevating the level of immersion and fun. It's the kind of expansion that makes you want to play again and again just to test all possible combinations and see who gets there first, dodging dangers and counting on the help (or not) of the Muisca. If you thought you had explored all that El Dorado has to offer, think again!
