About this game

El Camino Español ("The Spanish Road") is a game specially designed for the 6th edition of the Bellota wargames and historical games convention that is held in Badajoz with the stunning art of Nils Johansson. The game reflects in an easy way to play the logistical, diplomatic and military challenges that the Spanish Armies had when crossing the Spanish Road from Lombardy to Flanders in the period from 1567 to 1634. The game reflects the logistical and military challenges of 'The Spanish Road’ and its strategic importance during the 30 Years War (1618- 1648). Furthermore, the game has its design idea in the game 'The Collapse/El Colapso', a strategic wargame about the conflict that will be published by NAC Wargames publisher. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 1 player — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
