Der Esel

EL BURRO, a game by Michael Keller and Andreas Odendahl, illustrated by Harald Lieske. In El Burro, you develop a farm on Mallorca and must transport your goods from your farm to the port of Palma. The game uses versatile multi-use cards and a dice selection system similar to that of La Granja, while introducing additional elements such as donkey cards and donkey deliveries. You must manage your farm as efficiently as possible while making the best use of your cards and dice. During a round, you play cards, select dice (one at a time) to perform actions, deliver goods to your own market stalls or to local markets, and transport them to the port of Palma. Throughout the game, you score points for deliveries, and at the end of four rounds you gain additional points based on special cards and other elements. The player with the most points wins the game.
