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?
In
Puerto Rico, you run a large estate in the Antilles. You plant
indigo, tobacco, coffee, corn or sugar cane, you transform your
harvest in your workshops and factories, and you send it to Europe,
eager for exotic products. To do this, you'll have to invest,
build, and attract settlers in your estate.
A
finalist in the 2002 Deutscher SpielePre awards, Puerto Rico is
ranked number one on the internet Top 100 board games list and
is getting heaped with praises by users and in reviews. Puerto
Rico is clever, it's a light strategic game that will appeal to
casual and advanced gamers. It has a strong theme and is a wonderful
gaming experience... definitely recommended.
