Description

1940's Argentinian game.

Each player must navigate from Buenos Aires to Las Palmas, choosing the route: Orient to India, or Occident to England and North America, going back by the Pacific.

Each turn, players will throw the dice and advance as many squares as dice points. When a port is reached, a Knowledge card is drawn with some effects (earn money). When a red spot is reached, an Event card is drawn, and its effects take place. Black spots mark the entry to a port, and to reach them a exact roll is required.

When all players return to Buenos Aires, money is awarded according to the arrival order, and the player with most money wins.
