I was born in Menorca, but I have lived in Barcelona for years now. I came to study and never left —like so many other Menorcans. But you never forget the land of your roots, and whenever I think of my island I get goosebumps.
I have been a keen board gamer for a long time, and the creative itch that has always been with me led me to make games of my own. After 1713 Menorca, a game in the 18xx family, Talaia looks at all four islands at once: a good old trick-taking game, with its watchtowers, its corsairs and the market for olive oil, cheese, salt and dried fish.
