It's 1543, and Puerto Rico is beginning to blossom. You have the opportunity to become very wealthy by owning the most fruitful plantation. Carefully decide if you need to play the role of settler, mayor, builder, craftsman, trader, or captain to grow your plantation.

Puerto Rico is an exciting game played over several rounds, with players choosing one of the seven roles in the game. Each role allows a player to do a specific action. For example, the settler may take a quarry tile; the mayor may place a colonist; a builder can build a building for less; the craftsman gets one additional good; a trader may sell one good, and finally the captain loads his goods on to the ship to the old world first. Three conditions signal the end of the game and the player with the most victory points (the best plantation) wins the game.

Puerto Rico is an excellent game by Andreas Seyfarth and is a must have for any fans of Settlers of Catan series, Carcassonne series, and Domaine.
