Puerto Rico 1897

The year is 1897 AD. The island of Puerto Rico looks to move beyond the era of traditional colonialism and reshape itself for the modern world. As an independent Puerto Rican farmer in this new era, you will compete to hire workers, grow, sell, and trade valuable crops, as well as build vital city infrastructure.

Will you accrue more wealth and prestige than your opponents and become the most prosperous farmer in the land? Puerto Rico 1897 retains all of the elegant gameplay of the original version while telling a whole new story for all to enjoy!
