• The player with the highest valued action card takes the King’s card and the highest
valued (most Caballeros) Caballero card. The player with the second highest valued
action card takes the second highest valued Caballero card and so on. The player
with the lowest valued action card also takes the Intrigue card.
• Each player takes his turn starting with the player with the King’s card (and the
highest Caballero card) and continuing with the player with the second highest
Caballero card and so on. On a player’s turn, he first moves the number of
Caballeros shown on the action card he played from the provinces to his court. Then,
he may perform the special action or move Caballeros from his court to the board in
either order. The maximum number of Caballeros that may be moved is the number
shown on the Caballero card he has taken. The rules for moving these Caballeros is
the same as in the original game. The special action may be bypassed unless it is
indicated as required. The used card remains face up in the player’s court.
The King’s card and the Intrigue card:
The player with the highest valued action card is
always the King. He may not use the special action
on his action card, but must perform the special
action on the King’s card.
The player with the lowest valued action card
always takes the Intrigue card. He may not use the
special action on his action card, but must perform
the special action on the Intrigue card.
All other players must perform the special actions on their action cards, unless the
card is written, “You may...”. In this case, the player may choose to perform the
special action or to bypass it.
All players, including the King and Intrigue players, may move as many Caballeros
from the provinces to their courts as indicated on their action cards.
At the end of the round, all action cards are discarded from the game. The King, the
Intrigue and the Caballero cards are returned to their positions next to the board.

Grandissimo
Grandissimo is an expansion to El Grande. You will use some parts from the basic
game as well as the parts for this expansion. With the exception of the rules described
below, Grandissimo plays exactly as does El Grande.
Game contents:
20 action cards (11-19 6th stack cards Portugal 1 jail
& 1 7th stack card) score board
2 ship tokens Queen & Jester 2 black caballeros Grand
Inquisitor
Preparation:
Before the first game, carefully remove the pieces from the cardboard frames. You
may want to play the first few games without the ships, the prison, and the Grand
Inquisitor. If so, you do not need the prison, the Grand Inquisitor cards, the ships, the
Grand Inquisitor, and the black caballeros. As you become familiar with this
expansion, you may find some aspects not to your liking. If so, please remove the
cards or pieces that you do not like and play with the rest. You should try to keep at
least 11 cards in 6th stack, but other than that, feel free to eliminate any part of the
expansion that does not suit you. The important thing is for you to enjoy the game.
We feel that the components here will add to your enjoyment. If some do not,
eliminate them.
