DESCRIPTION
Santa Maria is a clean, medium-complexity Eurogame in which each player establishes and develops a colony. The game features elements of dice drawing and strategic engine building. The game is low on luck and has no destructive direct conflict between players; all components are language independent.
In the game, you expand your colony by placing polyominoes with buildings on your colony map. Dice (representing migrant workers) are used to activate buildings; Each die activates an entire row or column of buildings in your colony. Buildings are activated in order (left to right / top to bottom), then the matrix is placed on the last activated building to block that space. It is therefore crucial to know where you place new buildings in your colony, and in what order you use the dice.
As the game progresses, you produce resources, form sea routes, send out conquistadors, and upgrade your religious power to recruit monks. When you recruit a monk, you must decide whether he becomes a scholar (providing a permanent special ability), a missionary (for an immediate bonus), or a bishop (for possible end-game points). The player who has accumulated the most happiness after three rounds wins. Available specialists, end-game bonuses, and buildings vary from game to game, allowing for almost infinite replayability.
