Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is a classic Eurogame that has been a staple in my gaming group for years. It's a game of resource management, building, and strategy, and it always provides a challenging and engaging experience.

The game is complex, but once you understand the basics, it's a breeze to play. You start by choosing a role card each round, which determines what action everyone takes. Each player then gets to do that action, with the player who chose the role getting a bonus for doing so. There are many different roles, and they all have different effects on the game. You'll need to think strategically about which roles to choose and how they'll help you achieve your goals.

One thing I really love about Puerto Rico is that there are many different ways to win. You can focus on building buildings, shipping goods, or a combination of both. This makes the game very replayable, as you can always try out a new strategy.

While I love the game, it's not without its flaws. The components are a bit dated, and the insert is a bit of a mess. I also find that the game can be a bit slow at times, especially when players are new to it.

Overall, I would highly recommend Puerto Rico to any fan of strategy games. It's a complex and engaging game with a lot of replay value. However, be warned: it's not for everyone. It's a game that requires patience and a willingness to learn the rules.
