Puerto Rico Expansion
December 27th, 2004A couple of weeks ago, Michael brought me the Puerto Rico Expansion, from a trip to Playing Games in Central London.
We played it with three tonight, the first time I have played Puerto Rico with three and it scales excellently. After all my five-player games it was strange to see the mayor oscillate between small and large payouts.
I was surprised at how different it felt with the expansion. The new buildings really put me off my stride and I came last. It was the best thing that could have happenned as I am sure I would have won if we had played with the originals. Rather than choosing the buildings in turn, we played with the following:
- Aqueduct
- Hacienda
- Construction Hut
- Small Warehouse
- Guesthouse
- Trading Post
- Large Market
- Small Wharf
- Factory
- Special Factory
- Harbour
- Wharf
- Customs House
- Guild Hall
- Residence
- Fortress
- City Hall
This distribution was recommended by Alex Rockwell and played well. I found the Aqueduct, Guest House and Special Factory particularly interesting.
