Welcome to Season 3 of reading rulebooks! It’s my Oops all Knizia season!
Reading Rulebooks is a podcast dedicated to reading through rulebooks and teaching games! In this podcast I directly read the rulebook as well as discuss the game and try to clear up potential areas of confusion.
Check out the Game section of MCG for more episodes of the Reading Rulebooks Podcast or check out the MCG YouTube Channel for Videos!
This week we are going to cover the rules for The Quest for El Dorado. The Quest for El Dorado is a game designed by Reiner Knizia and is illustrated by Vincent Dutrait, Franz Vohwinkel. The game is published by Ravensburger.
The Quest for El Dorado has the expansion of Heroes and Hexes and can integrate with The Quest for El Dorado: The Golden Temples
