📖 About This Game
¡Abordaje! ("Boarding!") is a fast, tactical two-player game of fighting to take control over the enemy ship.
The game uses a drafting card mechanism with players giving orders simultaneously to their crews and trying to anticipate which orders the enemy is going to use. During a round, each player plays five of the twelve "Boarding Cards" over the battlefield trying to maneuver with his men and get advantage over his enemy will trying to counter his actions. At the end of each of the six rounds, players check whether they have control over any enemy deck, try to capture the enemy captain if possible, and score points.
A player wins if he takes permanent control of three of the five enemy decks, exterminates the opposing crew, or if after the sixth turn he has more VP than his rival.
