Description Edit | History

The players are plantation owners in Puerto Rico in the days when ships had sails. Growing up to five different kind of crops: Corn, Indigo, Coffee, Sugar and Tobacco, they must try to run their business more efficiently than their close competitors; growing crops and storing them efficiently, developing San Juan with useful buildings, deploying their colonists to best effect, selling crops at the right time, and most importantly, shipping their goods back to Europe for maximum benefit.

The game system lets players choose the order of the phases in each turn by allowing each player to choose a role from those remaining when it is their turn. No role can be selected twice in the same round. The player who selects the best roles to advance their position during the game will win.

1 All illustrated building tiles in german with rules overview
This document contains all illustrated tiles with german text ready for printing. Included are the base game, the expansion buildings, the Schatzkiste expansion, the forest tiles from Rio Grande and the tiles developped by Chris Thibodeau (kungfro). It also contains an overview of all rules for violet buildings as well as an overview sorted by value. Best print the first 8 pages with brochure print option in acrobat reader (double sided) to get a DIN A5 booklet. The tiles should be printed on adhesive paper, glued to cardboard and either covered with some matte plastic film or spray varnish.
