Have you ever dreamt of being and explorer at the beginning of the 16th century? Well, in GOA you can finally realize your dream! The game transports you to the Port of Goa, India, at the start of the 16th century; you are a European trader and have come to make money off of the land by acquiring plantations of different types of spices. You must build your empire and explore new territories to be successful in this new world.
GOA was originally released in 2004 and, that year, it won Board Game Geek’s Meeples Choice Award for best new game, voted by the public! Since then, it has sustained its popularity and its relevance.
For all of you who missed out on the game in 2004, you will soon have the occasion to discover this game, and for those who were fans of the game in 2004, you will be able to appreciate the additions that have been made to GOA since then!
Rüdiger Dorn worked on GOA for more than a year to make a game that he would be 100% satisfied with but that would also satisfy the fans of the original game. That’s why he tested the new version of the game with fans of the original!
So what’s new about this version?
Well, a few (important) things have changed! - Expedition cards have ben modified. You now have 6 symbols on 5 cards instead of 6 cards with 5 symbols. Like before, the most like symbols you have at the end of the game will give you victory points. However, it will be harder to accumulate like symbols since there are fewer cards and more symbols!
- The auction process has also changed. Previously, when a player wanted to sell a tile, everyone would make an offer in the order of his or her turn. The seller would then chose if he took the last offer or if he bought the tile himself by paying the price announced by the last player. In the new version, the process is the same, but now the active player can buy the tile for 1 less than the last offer. A subtle change that could make a big difference!
- The Development Board has been slightly modified.
- A new Bonanza variant! We will leave you the fun of discovering this variant of the game!GOA – due to release at the end of May 2012.
