Hacienda (engl.)

Description

Hacienda is a strategy game for 2 to 5 players aged 13+. Restore the Patagonian steppe by introducing native animals and expanding habitats on a modular board. Use card-driven strategy and spatial planning to develop eco-tourism businesses, unlocking powerful actions and benefits through thoughtful environmental stewardship.

In Hacienda, you take on the role of eco-conscious entrepreneurs working to restore the Patagonian steppe in Argentina. Rather than simply managing land, players carefully rewild the ecosystem by introducing native animals such as pumas, capybaras, and guanacos. The goal is to develop the most successful eco-tourism business through thoughtful stewardship of the environment. The game combines card-driven strategy with spatial planning. Each turn, players place terrain and animal tokens on a modular board using terrain and animal cards. Expanding habitats, creating connected chains of land, and linking to water sources or visitor centers are crucial for scoring points. Strategic placement unlocks powerful actions, while viewing platforms and water tiles provide lasting benefits. This edition of Hacienda brings significant changes from the second edition: a fully modular board that adapts to the number of players, a new card-based action system replacing the former currency mechanism, and a reimagined theme centered on conservation and eco-tourism. Upgraded wooden components for animals and land markers enhance the tactile experience. Additionally, special Visitor Centers introduce variable board powers, adding depth and replayability to the game.
