San Juan

San Juan

Easy to Play, Easy to Carry

Puerto Rico's golden age returns. Through you! Players travel now to the capital city of this beautiful island. Who will build the most important buildings? Players build palaces, poor houses, silver smelters, gold mines, and many others - each with its own special features. The cleverest player will build well and win!

This card game is based on the board game Puerto Rico. Like it's cousin, players choose roles which can help all players, but the choosing player gets a special privilege with the role chosen. Players build buildings, produce and sell goods, and so on. The game is based on Puerto Rico, but different enough to give players new challenges and opportunities for fun and enjoyment.

If Puerto Rico ever seemed too complex, or simply too big to carry on vacation, then San Juan is the right game for you. It has the same themes but is both compact and easy to teach to new players.
