Jogo dos Conquistadores is a board game released in 2006 for 2–4 players, 40 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by André Zatz and Sérgio Halaban and its main mechanics are Area Movement, Dice Rolling, and Variable Phase Order.
The objective of the game is to score points by conquering territories with different values and types of resources. The game has three turns and each one has three phases. In the first phase players place their armies on the board, relating to the types of resource cards that they have. In the second phase everyone scores by counting the regions values that they have settled in. In the third phase players battle in regions that are occupied by different armies. The winner of the battle can banish the armies of the other player to an adjacent area. After each player has battled once there is another scoring relating to the territories conquered through battles. After three turns the player with the highest score wins.
Jogo dos Conquistadores supports 2–4 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 Jogo dos Conquistadores is 40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.
