About the game
Visit the beautiful village of Cudillero in the north of Spain. This quaint place is known for its gorgeous scenery and its colourful houses, painted with the remnants of local fishing boats. A blind-bidding game designed and illustrated by Jorge Tabanera where the bid winner may not get the victory. Your goal is to build the best house configuration with floor cards, roof cards and doorway cards. Buy cards, build them and modify their value in your favour... or against your opponents. Rounds are divided in 2 phases: bidding phase and action phase. Bidding phase: Players choose 2 of their action cards for their number value (1 to 18) to bid and 1 action card to execute during the action phase. Action cards have 2 possible actions and the winner of the blind-bid will be able to do both of them. The rest of the players can only do 1. Action phase: In turns, players do 1 or 2 of the actions in their chosen card. Actions can be: Buy a floor card from the market; build a card on your configuration or modify the value of a colour. While building you'll be able to score extra points or trigger special bonuses. And you can use special tokens to better your chances of winning. —description from the publisher

The catalogue lists Cudillero for ages 11 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.

Cudillero has a complexity rating of 2.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
