About this deal
War games with a shouty infantry man on the cover can make a game seem like it's going to be very dry, but don't let Undaunted pass you by, because it's a brilliant battler built around one core truth: you can't win every fight.

I'm still awaiting a response from Ravensburger North America as to whether this new version will appear in English. Update, Dec. 9, 2022: I've received word from Ravensburger North America that this new version of The Quest for El Dorado will be released in North America in 2023.Wingspan perfected a simple formula that helped it soar over the competition. Players are building a nature reserve for different species of bird cards from their hand. Attracting a bird means spending food and eggs, and you get more food, eggs and cards the more birds are already in your habitat. It's a neat, devilish, circular puzzle that few other games have managed better. If a player has “leftover” power, they may use it to continue moving. However, cards can not be combined to move onto a space.

Some grey spaces on the board allow players to discard cards of any type to move onto them. And red Base Camp spaces allow players to remove cards from the game. Playing is this great balance of decision making and random chance: you'll use cards from your unique hand to take actions, and each card has two different actions on – one top, one bottom. If you use the top action on your first card, you must use the bottom action on your second – this gives you flexibility, but potentially exactly enough flexibility to hoist yourself by your own petard.The key twist is that not only do you get to move your people, but you also control the various sea creatures patrolling the oceans, which are capable of destroying boats, eating people who have fallen in the ocean, or both.
