How it plays

No rules summary yet for this game.

Main mechanics explained

  • Worker placement: You claim limited action spots before anyone else does.
  • Engine building: Small early moves compound into a machine that does the work later.
  • Trading & negotiation: Deals between players move the game forward.
  • Hand management: Timing which card to spend is the core puzzle.
Full publisher description

Description from the publisher: In Santo Domingo , all players have the same set of eight action cards. Each round, they choose one or two (depending on the number of players), reveal them at the same time, then execute the actions in a fixed order. This allows the players to collect goods, exchange them for victory points, or even receive victory points directly. However, with a limited supply of goods and points in each round, the strength of a card depends on which cards the others have played.
