    Customer Reviews

    Good game, more complicated than similar titlesBeing fans of The Settlers of Catan, Power Grid, and Ticket to Ride, we enjoy this game as well. However, this is a game with far more intricate strategy. It's also a game requiring more time, both to play and to set up.Puerto Rico has a variety of ways in which to play. You can produce a lot of goods, build a lot of buildings, etc. Each way provides a different tactic to victory. It will take several tries before you find a tactic that works to your liking. And much of you choice of path will be dictated by your opponents' paths. Not every building, for example, is available in sufficient quantity for everyone to buy.Puerto Rico also has far more pieces than other similar titles. Lots of setup is required, probably about twice what a game of Settlers requires, and far more than for a game of Ticket.Puerto Rico, for good or bad depending on your preferences, is also a fairly long game to play. As part of the variety of strategies I mentioned above, each round and player's turn tends to involve some thought. As such, particularly if you play with people who like to take their time, this can extend a single game well past the hour mark. I think we typically run about an hour and a half. So if you like a more involved game, this is good, if you like a quick game (like I think Ticket is), then Puerto Rico (with its set up and play time) might be too long. 4Game of Economic Choices for an Older FamilyWe enjoy playing this game as a family with our teen and twenty-something children. It teaches the results of economic choices and is a good balance of strategy and chance.Some might be offended that the "colonists" are brown and work on the plantations, but they also teach in the university and everything in between. The people have the opportunity to participate in every aspect of the economy. 5Enslavment and colonization in a fun game!I saw the great reviews so I purchased for my boyfriend, who is Puerto Rican. I was excited to give him a game about his home! Then I received the game and the very first sentence references Christopher Columbus. It goes downhill from there discussing how plantation owners and settlers better the lands. So basically a game about enslaving and colonization of his home land. No thanks! 1Culturally insensitive gameI purchased this game trying to teach my daughter of her Puerto Rican heritage. I was thinking it celebrated the island of Puerto Rico and it's culture. I was shocked to find that it is a game about pillaging Puerto Rico and exploiting it's people and resources. Amazon should be more aware of the culturally insensitive products that they are selling. If I could I would have given it 0 stars. It is going back! 1One of the best games out thereI'm an avid board game collector, and this is still one of my favorites. There is very little luck involved, as everything is open knowledge and there are no dice involved. There are also many different strategies, all of which are valid and can win you the game. It's also hard to "gang up" on someone, which keeps everyone happy. I'd highly recommend this game to anyone, whether you're just getting into deeper strategy board games, or if you're an avid board gamer. 5Another great Rio Grande gameWe got this game for Christmas after seeing how well it was rated. When we first opened the box, we were kind of shocked by how in depth the instructions were. It took us almost 2 hours to get through the game for the first time. That was mostly from pausing to read almost every turn and trying to develop a strategy as we went. The first game probably only warranted a 4 star rating, but the next day we played it again. It went a lot faster and was a lot more fun. Each time since then has been a 5 star play. If you can play with an experienced player your first time, you'll enjoy it a lot more.The premise of the game is to earn coins by planting crops, building buildings to help with the crops, and loading the harvest onto ships (which earns money). The game is played in rounds with all players choosing an action each round and the starting position changing with each round. It ends when all of the people are gone, all the money is owned, or all of the building spots for one player are filled. This typically takes 45 minutes to an hour (except for the first time the game is played). This can be a great party game, so long as someone knows what they are doing.I recommend this to families, young adults, and even children. My 6 year old daughter picked it up with ease, once I knew what i was doing well enough to teach her, and various friends of ours enjoy the game as well.Lots of fun and high replay value. 5Fun Game but wish the Buildings looked as pretty and the PC versionActually played the PC version before owning Puerto Rico the board game. After a play or two then the pathto victory becomes more clear. Fun to have a three step process(grow,manufacture,ship) to generate victory pointsand to have money be pivotal but not the same as vp. As the title says I was disappointed in the building tiles beingplain white. I know they need the description on them, but after seeing the PC game version I was really wanting thosepieces to be pretty even if they had to be bigger to accommodate. A great game design though deserving of many games(San Juan, card game version of this, and Race for the Galaxy, the Space themed card game version of this). I do wish theywould do a reprint (because this is a timeless classic now) with FULL board that includes all the roles, buildings, ships, wharf, trade house, etc instead of cards around medium box boards. Still like the player boards and only wish they were thicker cardboard. This game is such a classic game with truly interesting replays every time I would love to be able to buy it, even at a higher price point, with the quality of components it deserves. (I would also love to have a high quality board game version of Race for the Galaxy in the same way). 5Finally a game that surpasses AgricolaI love board games and have been addicted to Agricola for over a year. I did not think I could find a game that meets or even surpasses the enjoyment I experience from Agricola. Puerto Rico certainly gives Agricola a run for her money and surpasses it, in my opinion. My kids, ages 9 and 11, were able to pick up the game very quickly with me. The gameplay is so fluid and allows for so many winning strategies. 5Awesome game, especially if you like Settlers of CatanGreat game that uses strategy as well as chance. If you like Settlers of Catan, you'll love this game as well. I think this is less chance than Catan, so the more I play it, the more I like it. 5Manage an island economyThis is my personal favorite board game for a number of reasons. You need to manage your production, your income, your workers, and your buildings, each of which the other players has opportunities to block or force you to change tactics each turn. Considering other players actions and reacting is a must, long term planning can fail if you try to force a strategy.It's not multiplayer solitaire. During each players turns you take minor role actions that interact with everyone else's action. The game is constantly moving and you're never waiting around just watching other people play the game.I think 4 players is the ideal number. It's complex enough to please board gamers and easy enough to teach new players in about an hour (although it might be at the fringe of what non-gamers are willing to learn).The one flaw, although this is shared flaw with many games, is that new players tend to make poor decisions which benefit the other players more than themselves, and the player who takes actions after them tends to reap the most benefit from this. 5
