Puerto Rico, it's a place, it's also a board game.

More board game madness at the friend's place over the weekend. This week it was Puerto Rico. Apparently voted number 1 on the Board Game Geek website. It's not that hard to see why. Basically, the whole point of the game is to get Victory Points. The one with most Victory Points wins. To get them, the players can build buildings that give Victory Points, or produce and then ship goods off to gain Victory Points, or doing both.

The initial setting up and explaining the rule was quite daunting, to be honest. But once we got going, it was actually quite simple to follow. And for someone whose board game experience is confined to Monopoly, Chess and Scrabble (and Cluedo last week), Puerto Rico is actually quite fun. I lost in the end, but the whole concept is quite interesting. No wonder it's voted number one. My friend said he had already put in orders to get two other board games. He is turning us into board game geeks.
