1519, Veracruz. You are Malinalli, a young woman torn from her people to serve the conquistadors.
You have only one thing on your mind: escape your slave status and return to your native village... Your ability to master new languages eventually seduces Cortés himself, who sees you as a valuable asset in his thirst for conquests. To achieve your goals, will you choose to serve him at the risk of betraying your origins?

How to play the game?
Game Setup
Each player reads the initial context and the characters they embody. The game consists of scenario cards and a companion booklet. The cards are shuffled and placed in a pile according to the setup instructions.
Gameplay outline
At each step, a card is revealed and read aloud. It describes a situation, an event, or a choice to be made. Players must then make a decision from the options provided. Depending on the choice made, a new card is drawn, advancing the story. The game unfolds linearly but with many narrative branching paths.
Win/Loss Condition
There is no classic victory or defeat. The goal is to bring the story to its conclusion based on your decisions. Each path leads to a different ending, more or less favorable depending on the choices made and the consequences encountered.
Our Tips for Winning

Understanding the narrative implications
In Cartaventura: Every choice has an immediate or future impact. It is essential to read the cards carefully to anticipate possible consequences and avoid overly impulsive decisions.
-
Cooperate and discuss decisions
The game becomes richer when played with others. Discuss options, compare risks, and try to build a collective decision rather than an individual one.
-
Adopting a realistic survival mindset
The best choices are not always the most optimistic. Think in terms of survival, caution, and limited resources to progress further in the adventure.
