Die Erweiterung ist eigentlich eine glatte 10. Einen halben Stern ziehe ich für die Fehlausrichtung der Player Boards ab.

Maracaibo Der Aufstand
You stand at the railing and gaze at the horizon, where the weary sun sinks into the sea. As calculated by your navigator, a small island appears in the distance, which you can still reach before nightfall. A little later, you have dropped anchor and are rowing with the dinghy to this island. Eerie animal sounds come from the menacing jungle – not exactly an inviting place, but perfect for a hideout. The wooden shed in the middle of the thicket stands intact, you unlock the mighty iron lock with your key and find all the treasures you have hidden here. Tomorrow you will take some of it on board and sell it in the next town. After you have sold the treasures the next day and filled your bellies at the local tavern, you hear screams and gunshots, a tumult seems to have broken out outside. When you investigate, you see dozens of serfs and natives rising up and defending themselves against the European oppressors. Quickly on board and away – will you close your eyes? Or take a stand and help put an end to the injustice?
Storms are brewing... how will you set your sails?

Beautiful new modular shipboards that replace the weakest action with a useful one. Expansion explodes replayabilty with home ports, more cards, unrest and cooperative modules, a second automa and a second campaign (with more legacy tiles)! The best solo automa I have played, Jean never plays the same way twice and must be played against to win. Uprising adds two more (difficult) Jean cards.
The best part of this upgrade is the dual layer player boards. Saved me from buying some custom player boards. The new solo Jaques is easier to manage than original Jean. But actually I did like Jean since she "moved" on the board. Home Ports are great. Gives everybody a "special power". I have not tried the campaign yet, but I have played the original campaign which was ok, but a bit long... The other scenarios add a bit more variety to the game.
Rating largely reflects enjoyment of the base game. Curious to try some of the new variants and mechanisms but largely picked up to continue the story and legacy aspects of the core game. So far have played one scenario, enjoyed the minor adjustments to the (now dual layered) player boards. All-in-all enough great stuff for me to already be happy, despite interest in playing co-operatively etc being very low in comparison!
Takes a great game and makes it better. The real drawcard for me is the "more of the same but different" aspect of this expansion: careers, cards, and abilities on the player boards. The story is great I'm sure, I just haven't gotten to it yet.
