Cuba prior to the revolution: Under turbulent circumstances, the villages of the island strive for independent wealth and influence. Who can buy and sell his products and goods on the domestic market profitably or take in the most on the trading ships? Who can send the right delegate to parliament in order to influence the government legislative process, or erect distilleries, hotels and banks at the right moment to the benefit of his village? Whoever has accumulated the most victory points at the end of the game, wins. Players earn victory points by shipping merchandise from the harbour, but also by erecting and using buildings, and by abiding by the law.
The game focuses on the government legislative process in Capitolium where bills are proposed and acts implemented.
You earn victory points by paying taxes, complying with duties as well as tapping subsidies.
I addition to exerting influence on the legislative process, your timing is essential. It brins you closer to victory as you take on the roles of the worker, tradeswoman, architect, foreman, or mayor at the right moment. Finally, you need to erect building and load ships too.
Cuba, the board game, with uncomplicated rules, enables you to pursue many different strategies while the course of the game may change every time.
