In this video I compare two editions of the highly-regarded strategy board game Puerto Rico (Andreas Seyfarth/Alea): the earliest edition from 2002 and the recently-reimagined "1897" edition. There have of course been many editions over the years, including a deluxe anniversary edition and a short-lived reprint in 2020 maintaining its colonial setting, but here I'm comparing what currently are the oldest and the newest editions - at least until the Special Edition comes from Awaken Realms!

I love the way Alea does their rulebooks. The sidebars are so helpful. I also love the colored boxes on the "insert" of Alea games. They don't really do anything, but they really make a nice backdrop.

You mean boxes of color I think.

Yet another disappointing production from Alea, unfit for such a great game. This printing is better, but I have the previous one without text in the buildings, and Alea just washed their hands of it. Will not be buying from them again.

Yeah there are many horror stories of the misprints and poor production choices in 1897, so many that the publisher couldn't/wouldn't fix them for everyone and mostly just quietly fixed it for new printings. I was keenly aware of it and waited REALLY long to pick it up to give them a chance to iron it out, and even then I was taking a chance that what I ordered was the newer fixed version and not some old copy. It worked out for me, but I feel bad for all the early adopters.

@@BoardGemsI was one of the earliest adopters. I got four coffee tiles and a replacement coin (came out of punchboard badly), then I got a new rulebook, then I (professionally) printed out five copies of the new building player aid. All good now and it's good that they sent the tiles and rules for free, but a bit of a palava!

It's pathetic to see board game makers cave in to people who are so fragile that the mere sight of something rooted in actual history causes them to screech. Sigh.

If not including wage payment as a game element causes such angst, then please indeed choose a different game. This one, as the video review was honest enough to point out, is so clearly not benefited by such an addition in practical terms that the gesture is pointless, as is typical of business virtue signaling. Nonetheless, remarkably enough, it is a good game. It never reminded me of slavery but if it did so much the better; I always like to think my ancestors of all races would be happy to see how far our family has come with my generation. This Jason Perez sounds like a monumentally unpleasant person to even conceive of this nonsense (though I'm curious to see why he disavowed his changes). I hope he is not Puerto Rican--he would be rather atypical for indulging in this American cultural poison--because it's a rather small island and that would mean we certainly share some ancestry between the three races that every single one of us share.

I am so happy I have my original 10 year edition, not censored by the vile culture warriors.

I don't mind change in setting at all. If the change was so ridiculous that the setting/mechanisms no longer make any sense together, I'd be the first to complain, but it makes as much sense now as before. They could have gone with a space-colonization theme instead, and I'd like that, much, much less. If they're going to change the setting, this is the way to do it IMO. But yeah, the anniversary edition is really nice!

@@BoardGems I oppose out of principle. A year or so ago they were organizing an online lynch mob on BGG to try to destroy the life of the designer of Terraforming Mars. One of them dug a tweet containing wrong-think of the victim. They were doing not only with the blessing, but also the help of the BGG administration. I felt so disgusted I deleted my account from the site. This is the morality police that decides what themes we are allowed in board games.
