Puerto Rico Review - Still Worth It?

[@nathanmielke1977]

FFS people that complain that this game is about slavery and colonizing need to grow up. Its one of the best games every developed. I'm still playing it 20 years later and I have yet to own a slave.

Just found your channel.. absolutely magnificent video. I really love that you're revisiting and reviewing older games, for which existing reviews seem relatively outdated at this point. Your brief overview as well as pro's and con's are really well structured, cohesive and provide a good framework for a purchase decision! Have my sub!

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Nice one...anything you want to see covered? 👍🏻

[@Smoothraving]

@@BoardGameBollocks Absolutely! I was going to say Concordia or Orleans, but then had a quick skim through your videos and voilá! What I couldn't find however, was War of the Ring, a game which just recently received a reprint and I've been eyeing for a while. Would love to hear your opinion on that one.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Just picked it up actually. Playing it in October via livestream with a review shortly after. Keep a look out 👍🏻

[@ConQuesoQueso]

You're really putting out a lot of videos. Love your stuff and keep it up.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Thanks mate...👍

[@raziel2273]

Great job as always!!I have a few games that i REALLY want to see a review as i have never seen them reviewed so much and i appreciate your opinion a lot!The game higher on my list is The Lord Of the Ice Garden.Others are Vast and REX:Finals days of an empire.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Isn’t Rex a re-thememiing of Dune?

[@raziel2273]

@@BoardGameBollocks Kinda of yes but it has its own elements for sure.As for The Lord of the Ice Garden i know it's a hard to find game but maybe you have tried it.Many call it Chaos in the old World on steroids!!

[@antoror]

There actually is a 2nd edition out now that includes expansion content and some different art.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

So I’ve been told by furious BGG users 🤣...had no idea. But that’s one of the problems fixed I guess ✊🏻

[@kamilkuklo4225]

@@BoardGameBollocks New art is by any means better; with a new artwork this game would be still a real gem for all users. I bought it a while ago for some ridiculous low price but the box and components were so offputting I decided not to give it a go anytime soon. I tried it yesterday and... it's a masterpiece!

[@BoardGameBollocks]

It is indeed a great game.

“To get your ass handed to you” flies directly in my top 10 expressions 😂

[@herrsteppsch29]

Just bought this game (first edition) but could not play it yet. I am really looking forward to it

[@BoardGameBollocks]

It’s quality. Maybe pick up the mini expansion with the extra purple buildings to give it a bit more options. In fact you could just print them out from a scan.

Elegant and classy my fav!!

Found this video today due to the Puerto Rico Special Edition launching on Gamefound today. Curious about what you think of that version?

[@BoardGameBollocks]

I’ve not played it mate

[@mchamberlain7408]

Same. Wonder if I should back it

[@s.d.d.6063]

@@mchamberlain7408my 2 cents: don’t. It’s a great game and the Gamefound project is just about deluxification, miniatures and an announced new expansion, which I don’t believe is worth the cost. get the Puerto Rico 1897 second printing for less than 50 bucks and get the original game, the new building expansion, the ‘buccaneer’ expansion, the ‘Nobles’ expansion (which i don’t like that much but is anyway more content and the festival expansion (kind of trash, but still). It might even get a discount in retails due to the new edition…

Unfortunately it's so ugly :/
