El Grande is my undisputed favorite board game in the field of strategy. Relates the game is certainly the classic "risk", but is far more complex. The game impresses with an almost immeasurable diversity of tactics to leave the board as winners without being cluttered. A real feat. I've taught it himself many friends and can be a very short time fully get into the game, and it remains rare in only one game. Unlike others of its strategy-genre of luck factor also plays a strong subordinate role, especially no luck with the dice, which I find very beautiful. On top of that board and accessories are made by design, very loving. Conclusion: A must in the games in any way. PS: Play is possible from 2 and up to 5 people, the ideal number of players is in my opinion, but right in the middle, with 3-4 people. But everyone has to find out for yourself. Have fun playing :)
