There are so many caballeros flying about, all supposedly of same value but ultimately some reap good rewards and others are good for nothing, worthless Spanish cowboys. Choosing a power card followed by an action card are easily digestable in isolation, however, as part of the ever changing Spanish regions, ruled over by a despotic yet puppet-like King, they make for a pleasingly tricky puzzle to out think the other Grandes. It's all good stuff but the real melange of medieval Spain resides in the Castilla, a whimsically silly-to-use but game changing tower. Hard to overstate the joy in claiming to be placing 4 caballeros as the thud of a solitary wooden piece hits the cardboard. And then comes the bittersweet release after you believed you scored well until it dawns on you that you've neglected the Castilla and you're sprawling regions full of points are about to come crashing down in a secret reveal you'd rather never see.
