October 1888: During the construction of the Metropolitan Police headquarters near Whitehall, which would later become known as Scotland Yard, the remains of a body were found. In September, a severed arm had already been discovered in the muddy bank of the River Thames. There is another murderer who roams the streets of London in Whitehall, entertaining himself by scattering a poor woman's pieces around Whitehall, like some kind of macabre treasure hunt. The identity of this monster and its unfortunate victim are a mystery, the Whitehall Mystery.

1580, South America: a new colony born on the ashes of the previous settlement. The difficulties are many: the natives trying to repel the invader, the lack of resources, the English pirates threatening destruction. Will you succeed in the challenge? Trinidad is the latest game from Michele Quondam (Medioevo Universale GX, Virus, Romolo o Remo, Gladiatori and many more), famous for creating strategy games for fans of "heavy games". Trinidad is no exception, and it is a 1-5 player game that lasts approximately 30-40 minutes per player. The game's illustrations were created by Fabio Porfidia and the miniature models by Kieran Russell. In Trinidad, the players are the heads of the Spanish colonial families who founded the Ciudad de la Santisima Trinidad (later known as Buenos Aires) in 1580. They will have to develop the initial settlement by building buildings such as houses and palaces, stonemasons, markets, churches and much more, while making the city look beautiful with squares, fountains and monuments. They will have to use their workers to the best of their ability, choosing carefully where to send them, as well as using their characters and partners to create the most powerful combos. Moreover, they will have to work hard to maintain a good relationship with the natives, no matter how hard that may seem, or prepare for their reaction! And they cannot forget the English pirates, who only wait for the right moment to plunder the city, once it has become rich enough... After the first difficult phase, the settlement will start to look like a city, and players will be able to work together to build imposing buildings such as the cathedral, the harbor, the governor's palace and the majestic central fortress, and important things such as roads and city walls. Are you ready for this challenge?
