Caribe is a board game released in 2026 for 1–4 players, 50–100 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Orlando Sá and its main mechanics are Modular Board and Multi-Use Cards.
The Lesser Antilles, a breathtaking archipelago in the Caribbean, remain a source of fascination for the scientific world of the nineteenth century. As the esteemed leader of an expedition, you have been entrusted with a mission of the utmost importance: to explore, document, and understand the diverse landscapes, wildlife, and geological wonders of these islands. Lead teams of scientists and explorers into volcanic craters, through lush rainforests, and along sun-drenched beaches in search of rare species and hidden natural phenomena. Organise maritime expeditions to observe flamingos in tranquil lagoons, sea turtles nesting on remote shores, and dolphins dancing through the waves. With every discovery, you will develop new theories, push the boundaries of human knowledge, and compete to become the most celebrated naturalist of the age. Will your name be forever etched into the history of science, or will another claim that legacy? —description from the publisher
Caribe supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Caribe is 50–100 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Caribe for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Caribe has a complexity rating of 2.6 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
