christian@spiralburst.comDescription
Maracaibo, the award-winning strategy board game for 1 to 4 players, is coming to Android and iOS on December 20, 2021. Spiralburst Studio is working closely with designer Alexander Pfister and publisher Game’s Up to faithfully adapt Maracaibo's deep gameplay to phones and tablets.
Sail around the 17th century Caribbean and stop at spaces on the board to complete quests, upgrade your ship, and fight pirates. The cards you buy will unlock new abilities and bonuses to improve your strategy, and each game will feature a new set of cards to choose from. There are many ways to earn points, but players have the power to set the pace of the game - each round can end sooner than you think!
An interactive tutorial will teach you how to play if you are new to Maracaibo. The app also includes the complete legacy campaign from the board game, as well as other scenarios for quick play. You can play solo against the "Automa," true to the game's design with 5 levels of difficulty, or local pass and play with 2 to 4 players.
