Spain in the late Middle Ages.
It is a time of awakening. The position of the king is secure, but the high aristocrats, the Grandes, look to expand their influence.
Thus, intrigue fills the country! Their primary weapons are the attendants to the king: the Caballeros. Each Grande has his favourites, recruited from the provinces, which he deploys to accumulate the power he so desires. Fencing, not with the sword, but with cunning and deceit, the Grandes struggle for power, sending the Caballeros openly into the regions and secretly to the Castillo

With El Grande, the well-known authors Wolfgang Kramer and Richard Ulrich have created a game that challenges players to use their minds and their wits to win. Although this strategic game requires subtle strategies, it is easy to learn and comes with an introduction that ensures a fast entrance into the game. We believe you will find this a game that is both beautiful and practical, making the game a pleasure to play every time
