I would rate higher if you could play this with 2 players without the expansion. Still really great.

Very fun. I had a lot of fun with this but I could see it getting repetitive over time since you are essentially doing the same thing 3 times each game. More variety would make it better.

This is a well designed, nicely thematic game which played quite well with 5 players, and it can be hard to find a well designed euro that plays well with 5 (Medici, Hermagor & Santiago come to mind). Francis Drake featured enjoyable decision making both in getting supplies using the worker placement mechanic, and sailing to Spanish towns, forts, galleons, or trading areas, using the hidden number placement mechanic. Fun to play around with, and fun to see the results. The theme, art and components are strong. The one concern I might have with Francis Drake is replayability, as it does fundamentally feature a finite number of things (4) you can do with your provisions. As such, there is a possible solvability issue. Nevertheless, the player interactivity through the two central mechanics is likely to be, presumably, the primary determinant of game results among top players, and...produce ample number of fun plays with this game.
