The king's power is flagging, and these powerful lords are vying for control of the various regions. To that end, you draft \u003cem\u003ecaballeros\u003c\/em\u003e (knights in the form of meeples) into your court and subsequently move them onto the board to help seize control of regions. After every third round, the regions are scored, and after the ninth round, the player with the most points is the winner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn each of the nine rounds, you select one of your 13 power cards to determine turn order as well as the number of \u003cem\u003ecaballeros\u003c\/em\u003e you get to move from the provinces (general supply) into your court (personal supply).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA turn then consists of selecting one of five action cards which allow variations to the rules and additional scoring opportunities in addition to determining how many \u003cem\u003ecaballeros\u003c\/em\u003e to move from your court to one or more of the regions on the board (or into the \u003cem\u003ecastillo\u003c\/em\u003e—a secretive tower). Normally, you may only place your \u003cem\u003ecaballeros\u003c\/em\u003e into regions adjacent to the one containing the king's pawn. The one hard and fast rule in El Grande is that nothing may move into or out of the king's region. One of the five action cards that is always available each round allows you to move the king to a new region. The other four action cards vary from round to round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal is to have a majority of \u003cem\u003ecaballeros\u003c\/em\u003e in as many regions (and the \u003cem\u003ecastillo\u003c\/em\u003e) as possible during a scoring round. Following the scoring of the \u003cem\u003ecastillo\u003c\/em\u003e, you place any meeples you had stashed there into the region you had secretly indicated on your region dial. Each region is then scored individually according to a table printed in that region. Two-point bonuses are awarded for having sole majority in the region containing your \u003cem\u003eGrande\u003c\/em\u003e (large meeple) and in the region containing the king.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEl Grande Big Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, the 20th anniversary edition of \u003cem\u003eEl Grande\u003c\/em\u003e, includes all previously published expansions: \u003cem\u003eGrand Inquisitor \u0026amp; Colonies\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eGrandissimo\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eKing \u0026amp; Intrigant\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eKing \u0026amp; Intrigant: Players' Edition\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eKing \u0026amp; Intrigant: Special Cards\u003c\/em\u003e as well as something currently known only as the \"Anniversary Extension\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Z-Man Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7520639041,"sku":"ZMG71560","price":80.91,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/s247665412802586480_p67_i1_w600.png?v=1578609052","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/el-grande-big-box","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
