In 1493 Christopher Columbus discovered the eastern-most island of the Great
Antilles. About 50 years later, Puerto Rico began to really blossom - through
you!
Which roles will you play in this new world: Prospector?, Governor?
Settler? Trader? Whatever you do, you have one goal: to achieve the greatest
prosperity and highest reputation! Who will have the most fruitful plantation?
Who will build the most impressive buildings? And, who will earn the most
victory points?
The most critically acclaimed board game of the last twenty years, Puerto Rico
continues to wow people with its brilliant mechanics. Each player 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. With dozens of options, Puerto Rico is a streamlined game
that can be played in about an hour and handles up to five players.
