Overview

In Latin, Plus Ultra means «further beyond». It refers to the premise or motto of the reign of Charles I of Spain and V of the Holy Roman Empire. Son of Philip I of Austria and Joanna of Castile, he governed during a good part of the 16th century vast territories which extended across Europe, America and Africa.

Plus Ultra is a board game of quick interaction and medium complexity, for two to four players. During the game, the players represent noblemen from the Spanish Court of the 16th century, who compete to obtain the title of Grandee of Spain (“Grande de España”). To achieve this, they will carry out dangerous endeavours in the name and for the glory of the Crown, with the help of influential personalities from the time’s society: “Almirante de la Mar Océana” (Admiral of the Oceanic Sea), cardinal, viceroy, pirate, conqueror… even the Emperor himself! At the start of each round, a draft of cards will allow the player to choose between two of the available characters. His actions will be resolved following a precise turn order (order of peers) previously established. Put your tactical and planning abilities to the test and become the Emperor’s chosen one!

Plus Ultra significa en latín «ir más allá». Hace referencia a la premisa o lema del reinado de Carlos I de España y V del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico. Hijo de Felipe de Austria y Juana de Castilla, gobernó durante buena parte del siglo XVI vastos dominios que se extendían sobre Europa, América y África.

Plus Ultra es un juego de mesa de interacción rápida y media complejidad, para dos a cuatro jugadores. Durante el juego los jugadores representan nobles de la Corte española del siglo XVI que rivalizan por conseguir el título de Grande de España. Para lograrlo llevarán a cabo arriesgadas empresas ¡en nombre y para mayor gloria de la Corona! con la ayuda de influyentes personajes de la sociedad de su tiempo: almirante de la mar océana, cardenal, virrey, pirata, conquistador… ¡incluso el mismísimo Emperador! Al comienzo de cada ronda una selección de cartas les permitirá elegir dos de los personajes disponibles. Sus acciones, de carácter múltiple, se resolverán siguiendo un orden de turno preciso (orden de pares) establecido de antemano. ¡Pon a prueba tus habilidades tácticas y de planificación y conviértete en el elegido del Emperador!
