Oltre Mare

Are you the best merchant in Venice? In Oltre Mare, from 2004, you sail the old Venetian routes toward Barbaria, chasing precious wares and rich stocks while the ever-present pirates threaten your plans. On your turn you can trade goods such as corn, wine, spices and silk with other players for different goods or for money, which also counts as points. Then you play cards from your hand for actions: earn coins, draw cards or move your ship across the map to unlock special powers. And there is the dreaded Pirate action, so watch your back. It is a trading card game with negotiation, set collection and a dash of bluffing, for two to five.
