Madera contra Acero: La Conquista de Canarias
DescriptionMasqueoca NAC wargames in its project to promote games with a national theme has been kind enough to include in its programme one with a hitherto unpublished and original theme, and as a Canarian designer it is a great satisfaction for me to present it. Wood against Steel, The Conquest of the Canary Islands. Already the title gives us a small clue of the inequality in weaponry on the sides involved in this war. The wooden and stone weapons of the Guanches against the iron and steel of the conquerors of the Crown of Castile. But make no mistake, even though it was a very unequal struggle, the conquest of the whole archipelago lasted no less than 94 years, practically a whole century of fighting, precisely in the 15th century, which is enough to show that it was not a military stroll. By way of comparison, the conquest of America took about 40 years. It should be noted that the clash between the indigenous Canary Islanders and the Castilian troops was brutal. It is a wargame for two players, where the Castilians slowly but continuously land on each of the 7 islands through the arrival of ships loaded with conquerors and the Guanches try by all means to stop and expel the newcomers to their earthly paradise. The game is played by secret and simultaneous orders and with the help of two decks of event cards, so the turns are a lot of fun and with variable strategy adapted to the moment. —description from the designer Masqueoca NAC wargames en su proyecto de fomento de juegos con temática nacional ha tenido a bien incluir en su programa uno con temática hasta ahora inédita y original, y que como diseñador canario es una gran satisfacción para mi presentar. Madera contra Acero, La Conquista de Canarias. Ya el titulo nos da una pequeña pista de la desigualdad en armamento en los bandos implicados en esta guerra. Las armas de madera y piedra de los guanches contra el hierro y acero de los conquistadores de la Corona de Castilla. Pero que no llame a engaño, aun siendo una lucha muy desigual, la conquista de todo el archipiélago duró nada menos que 94 años, prácticamente todo un siglo de combates, precisamente el siglo XV, ello es un indicador suficiente para entender que aquello no fue un paseo militar. Como comparación la conquista de America duró unos 40 años. Se hace necesario destacar que el choque entre los indígenas canarios y las tropas castellanas fue brutal. —description from the designer (Spanish) Game DiscussionsAdd CommentYou need to be logged in to comment.
