A two-player wargame that covers the epic three month siege of Tenochtitlan, the climactic battle for control of Mexico, fought in 1521. Cortes was first published as a supplement to Command magazine Issue #20.14 pages of rules, 144 5/8' counters, and a 22' x 34' map are included.This game is the only one that I am aware of that includes rules for Human Sacrifice...If Cortes is killed or captured, the Aztec player wins immediately. Otherwise, the Spanish player must keep his 'Loss Points' to a minimum... as long as the Spanish player does not gain 17 or more points, they win.Nominee for the 1993 Charles S. Roberts awards for Best Pre-World War II Boardgame (Charles S. Roberts Awards). - BoardGameGeek
