Puerto Rico 1897 takes place the year after Puerto Rico achieved political autonomy and separated itself from the colonial Spanish government. You will take on the role of an independent Puerto Rican farmer in this new era and compete against others to hire workers to grow, sell, and trade valuable crops. You will also be in charge of resurrecting parts of the country as you attempt to build vital city infrastructure. Your goal throughout the game is to acquire more wealth and prestige than your opponents and become the most prosperous farmer across the country.
Puerto Rico 1897 provides a thoughtful update to the classic game of Puerto Rico. Mechanically, it is identical to its predecessors.
This edition includes four expansions: The New Buildings, The Citizens (formerly The Nobles), Smugglers (formerly The Buccaneers), and Festival.
