In Magalhães Bastos, the players will have to save the women who will appear in the neighborhood, solving their problems to win their hearts. Sagacity is necessary to move around the district, since the other players are a constant threat. On his turn, a player performs three different actions from a menu of twelve. Most actions involve gaining, buying, selling or discarding various items and cards, often on specific board spaces. They also include moving the player's character, threatening (and possibly attacking) an opponent, earning money, hiring a security guard and winning a woman's heart - or stealing it from another player. The game ends after ten rounds or when any player's score goes past 32 points. —user summary
