Page 5 of Rio Grande Games Cape Horn Before the opening of the Panama Canal, ships sailed from the east coast to the west coast of North or South America via Cape Horn. It was a long and dangerous journey, but it was the only way. There were regular races from New York to San Francisco for those daring enough to test their skills against the elements. Now players can relive those races in this game. Movement is governed by placing wind tiles along the route. Players can place tiles to either help themselves or to hinder their opponents. 3-5 players aged 12 and up; 45-60 minutes $29.95 Tikal Tikal is the most important and largest of all Mayan sites, located in the midst of an impenetrable jungle in northern Guatemala. Little is known of the Mayan civilization that lived there from 600 B.C. to 900 A.D. and only a small fraction of the site has been excavated and investigated. Each player is the director of an expedition searching for the secret paths that lead to temples and treasures. 2-4 players aged 10 and up; 75-90 minutes $44.95 Löwenherz The old King is dying and the princes are all vying to succeed him. The prince that has the most power when the king dies will succeed him. Power is gained by controlling territory within the kingdom. Each prince has three castles, but only one has the stable boundaries that allow the prince to control the territory surrounding the castle. The other castles lie in territory that is contested by other princes. Each prince gains power by adding territory to a stable region or by making the region surrounding one of his castles stable. The more territory added or stabilized, the more power gained. For 2-4 players aged 12 and up $39.95 Mississippi Queen Vie with other paddle-wheel captains and their "queens" for the title of Mississippi Queen, the fastest paddle-wheeler on Big Muddy. Since a significant portion of a paddle-wheeler's revenue comes from passengers, the competition is more than just a race. To win, a captain must be the first to dock at the finish AND make two passenger stops along the way. For 3-5 players aged 10 and up $39.95 Back to Rio Grande Games Main Page
