Grand Inquisitor & the Colonies 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, Grand Inquisitor & the Colonies plays exactly as does
El Grande.
Game contents:
four new regions: France
Mediterranean
America The Ship
Grand Inquisitor and his Caballeros
Gold (5) Wares (11) Limit tables
Grand Inquisitor
& the Colonies
Repositioning:
Repositioning is much more important. You are allowed to:
o move Caballeros directly to or from the Mediterranean or America without
using the ship. This works even with Caballeros that have claimed discs.
o move Caballeros off the Limit table and others onto it - even within the same
region. If you move a Caballero from and then another onto the Limit table, you
use two repositioning moves.
o move the Viceroy, the Captain, the Ambassador, and the Envoy. As above, it
uses two repositioning moves to move a Caballero off and another on.
o move Caballeros of the Grand Inquisitor. They may not be moved to the
provinces.
Scoring Regions:
o When scoring regions, the new regions are scored as well. They are scored after
Valencia in the order: France, Ship, America, and the Mediterranean For
example, when scoring all "4" regions, America and the Mediterranean would
be scored in that order.
o When a player performs the special action: "Only the first places are counted",
the additional points for the Viceroy and Captain are not counted, but those for
the Ambassador and the Envoy are, if the player who owns them has the
majority in France.
New special actions:
Although many of the new special actions on the action cards for are well described
on the cards, some require further explanation. Explanations for those new special
actions follow:
o Conspiracy - During the next general scoring, the Grandes move to regions
based on the regions specified on the players’ secret disks.
o Remove Action Card - The face up action card removed must be one of those
still being offered as actions for this turn. You may not remove an action card
that has been played with instructions to place it face up. If the player chooses
the King’s card or the Grand Inquisitor’s card, they remain unavailable only for
the remainder of this turn. They will return as always to be available next turn.
