After the discovery of the Pacific Ocean by the Spanish explorer Vasco Nu ez de Balboa in 1513, it became the subject of dispute between the two great colonial empires of the time, Spain and Portugal. The Treaty of Tordesillas established a principle agreement for the division of the world, leaving this vast expanse of sea on the Spanish side, which came to be known as the "Spanish lake". The expeditions sought quick access from South America to the Spice Islands, the Moluccas and also the mythical "Terra Australis Incognita" where they intended to find gold, spices and exotic products for the greater honour and wealth of the Spanish and Portuguese Crowns. Thus, during the 16th and 17th centuries, the Pacific Ocean was a Spanish sea, only disturbed by some English and Dutch expeditions. During those years, Spanish navigators crossed it in various directions and discovered most of its archipelagos (Galapagos, Marquesas, Hawaii, Marianas, Philippines, Marshall Islands, Society), as well as circumnavigating New Guinea, sighting the coasts of Australia and exploring and colonising the Philippine archipelago. One player represents the Spanish Empire based in the Viceroyalty of Peru, organizes his expedition departing from the port of El Callao. The other player in turn organizes another expedition departing from the port of Acapulco. The player with the most victory points wins. Victory points are earned by discovering islands and mapping them, establishing colonies, establishing contacts and alliances with natives, collecting exotic species of plants, birds and animals and bringing them to the home port. Finding gold, pearls or spices, etc. —description from designer Tras el descubrimiento del Oc ano Pac fico por el explorador espa ol Vasco N ez de Balboa en 1513, este fue objeto de disputa entre los dos grandes imperios coloniales de la poca, Espa a y Portugal.
