Description
Puerto Rico is a highly successful economic strategy game that has won numerous awards from both players and critics.
In this game, you become a 16th-century plantation owner in Puerto Rico. Ships arrive to buy your goods: corn, indigo, coffee, sugar, and tobacco. Your goal is to cultivate, process, and trade these resources more effectively than your opponents.
The game offers great strategic variety with very little reliance on luck. It focuses on your ability to combine actions—your move might benefit not only you but also your opponents, so you must constantly weigh what is most advantageous for you and what will hinder others.
The game is in English.

An excellent game for more demanding players. Minimal luck factor. The gameplay style is similar to a simplified Agricola (though that one is a few years newer), only the component quality is a bit dated by today's standards.
The game is set in the colonial era. Your main goal is to export exotic crops you've grown. You have actions available such as expanding plantations, constructing buildings, bringing in new settlers, producing resources, selling at the market, and exporting goods. Players take turns choosing actions. When an action is played, everyone can perform it, but the player who chose it always receives a specific bonus.
The goal is to time your actions so you benefit more from them than your opponents. The type of crops you grow also plays a major role. They differ primarily in production difficulty and market price. Exporting crops (converting them into victory points) is the culmination of your planning. There are strict rules on what can be loaded and where. Opponents can block you, and you might even lose the resources you've produced.
Výborná hra pro náročnější hráče. Minimální prvek náhody. Stylem hry se blíží zjednodušené Agricole (ta je ale o pár let novější), pouze zpracování komponent již je na dnešní dobu jednodušší.
Hra je situována do koloniální doby. Hlavním cílem snažení je export vypěstovaných exotických plodin. K dispozici máte akce rozšiřování plantáží, stavění budov, imigrace nových osadníků, výroba surovin, prodej na trhu a jejich vývoz. Hráči se ve výběru akcí střídají. Pokud je akce zahrána, všichni hráči v tu chvíli mohou akci provést, avšak hráč který ji zahrál dostává vždy určitý bonus.
Cílem snažení je načasovat akce, tak aby z nich byl větší užitek pro vás než pro protivníky. Typ plodin k pěstování také hraje velkou roli. Liší se zejména náročností na výrobu a cenou na trhu. Export plodin (přeměna na vítězné body) je vrcholným bodem plánování. Platí dost striktní pravidla, co a kam lze naložit. Protihráči vás mohou vyblokovat a o vyprodukované suroviny můžete přijít.
