Publisher's Description:

           On to the New World! is the cry from the fans of El Grande. Leave the spanish mainland behind and set sail to discover the New World! This time your trusty Caballeros help you control the islands and the seas of this new land. Both land and sea may contain special treasures to add valuable points to your collection of victory points.

As the players explore the islands, they discover the land and sea areas of the New World. Once discovered, they rush their Caballeros to the most valuable areas to claim them for themselves. They buy castillos to protect their Caballeros from attacks and build ships to support trade and fishing. All this with the goal of showing up the other Grandes that are trying to take control of the New World.

The first expansion is also included. Governors allow you to further secure your regions. And the Grandes themselves travel to the New World to grant their most prized region with their special protection.
