In The Quest for El Dorado, players take the roles of expedition leaders who have embarked on a search for the legendary land of gold in the dense jungles of South America.

Each player assembles and equips their own team, hiring various helpers from the scout to the scientist to the assistance of the native peoples. All of them have one goal in mind: Reaching the golden border first and being the first to explore the fabled city of El Dorado!
