Puerto Rico in the comfort of your home

Matt bought the board game Puerto Rico when we returned from S.A. and we were so daunted by all the pieces and rulebook that we avoided playing it because with a game that complicated, it could get exhausting and boring before we even understand the game.

Luckily, we have boardgame friends in Portland and one night we sat down to make sense of it all.  And it’s not that complicated, once you understand how it goes.  And it’s fun!  Probably because Matt and I learned at the same time, so we are both still clueless.  It’s feels similar to Settlers of Catan in some ways but it is very unique and a really good group game.  I like that there isn’t just one way to play and win, there a different ways to acquire enough victory points to win that it keeps it a fun challenge. And I am proud to announce that I have finally won, at the current high score of 50 points. So far we each have one game…
