(GAME SUMMARY)

Drake says: "In Puerto Rico, players utilizes different roles (Mayor, Captain, Settler, Trader, Prospector, Craftsman, or Builder) to score the most victory points with their colony. Players can act on every turn of the game, allowing them to choose between shipping goods for points or building an impressive city. Players must manage their colonists, erect a variety of buildings, build up their plantation, and sell or ship goods. Puerto Rico is a streamlined game that has many strategic avenues to explore."






(TIPS/COMMENTS)

John says: "Puerto Rico has a novel game system that lets players choose the order of the phases in each turn by allowing each player to choose a role. It feels like everybody is plays at the same time, with nobody taking a turn. It takes a few games to become familiar with the buildings. The player who selects the best roles to advance their position during the game will win. This is considered by many to be the best designer board game!"

Andreas Seyfarth
