15 Dias: The Spanish Golden Age is a board game released in 2014 for 2–8 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Gonzo Bríos and its main mechanics are Hand Management and Variable Phase Order.
On March 31st, 1621, King Philip III of Spain, also known as Philip the Pious, passed away. He had rarely acted as a true ruler, having entrusted all authority to his favorite, the Duke of Lerma. When the young prince Philip IV succeeded to the throne, a new competitor arrived at court, the power-hungry Count of Olivares. Although the Duke of Lerma had been compelled to leave the court, after falling from favor and being accused of massive corruption by his own son, his family hoped to hold on to power at any cost... 15 Días: The Spanish Golden Age is set in this context of backstabbing, treachery and palace intrigues. Who will become the new "Valido"? Would you betray your own next-of-kin to obtain the grace of the King? All of this, and much more awaits you in 15 Días: The Spanish Golden Age, a card game full of history and intrigue, no regrets, betrayal, and above all ambition.
