El Rey de las Espaņas Felipe IV "El Grande"
Phillip IV, our King		 The preceeding page is only an abstract of the "current" situation in Villa y Corte, a play-by-mail role-playing game with more than 70 players in Spain as well as abroad, based in the era of the Spanish Empire of the XVIIth century.
  • This Web site has been conceived on one hand to make the game known to everyone passing by and on the other to be a reference point to all players with Internet connections, a fast-growing group.
  • In short we can say that the game favours playability and players' initiative, that there are more than 300 historical characters to interact with and that it is open to any and all who are knowledgeable with PBM's and could possibly be interested in the era. The main goal is to become the most important, rich and famous character in Villa y Corte.
  • Every turn covers a month of play time, divided in weeks, in which the characters can do almost everything provided it is feasible within the context. You can choose and create the type, abilities and skills of the character, in fact to tailor-make it. Normally players send up to 6 game turns per real-time year, in which they mail to the referee the character sheet and the action proposal.
WARNING: although no one is (or will ever be) discriminated from playing Villa y Corte for language reasons, we believe that a reasonable command of Spanish is crucial to fully enjoy the game, so this is the last page you'll find in English. On the other hand, if you believe you master the lingo well enough, just push the buttons on the left-hand bar and go on. Make our day!
