Welcome to the Tercio, Contender. Drop the BS and move your buttocks to the front lines. In Taĉmento you will learn the noble art of war. Maneuver your squadron and lead it into combat against heretics and infidels in the harsh lands of Flanders. But first you must be worthy to be Maestre de Campo. Learn how to move your troops in Maneuver Mode. Rise through the ranks and prove your worth in the Instruction Mode (solo). Then you will be able to command the most powerful army in the world, the Tercio. In the Campaign Mode you will be able to expand Castilla battle by battle. Don't think that it's a small feat. Sharpen your vizcaína and... ...put a pike in Flanders! Bienvenido al Tercio, Aspirante. Deja las zarandajas y mueve tus posaderas al frente de batalla. En Taĉmento aprenderás el noble arte de la guerra. Maniobra tu escuadrón y dirígelo al combate contra herejes e infieles en las tierras duras de Flandes. Pero primero deberás ser digno de ser Maestre de Campo. Aprende a mover tus tropas en el Modo Maniobras. Asciende en el escalafón y prueba tu valía en el Modo Instrucción (solitario). Entonces serás capaz de comandar al ejército más poderoso del mundo, el Tercio. En el Modo Campaña podrás ensanchar Castilla batalla a batalla. No creas que es bicoca. Afila tu vizcaína y... ...¡Pon una pica en Flandes!
Taĉmento supports 1–2 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 Taĉmento is 5–10 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 Taĉmento 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.
Taĉmento has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a 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.
