All buildings in detailFollowing is a summary to all the buildings in Puerto Rico, sorted by price. This does not include the six basic production buildings.

Small MarketWhen the owner of an occupied Small Marketsells a good in the trader phase, he gets an extradoubloon from the bank for it.

Example: Anna sells a corn and receives 1 doubloon.Note: The Small Market does not add its bonus when a player sells to his TradingPost. The Small Market does not add its bonus when a player sells a plantationusing his Land O ce.

AqueductIf the owner of an occupied Aqueduct producesat least one indigo in his Indigo Plant (not SmallIndigo Plant), he takes one additional indigo.Similarly, if he produces at least one sugar in

his Sugar Mill (not Small Sugar Mill), he takes one additional sugar.

Example 1: the player produces 0 indigo in his Indigo Plant and 1 Sugar in his SmallSugar Mill: he takes 0 indigo and 1 sugar (the Aqueduct had no e ect).Example 2: the player produces 1 indigo in his Indigo Plant and 3 Sugar in his Sugar

Mill: he takes 2 indigo and 4 sugar.Remember: The Aqueduct does not work with the Small Indigo Plant or Small Sugar

Mill.

HaciendaOn his turn in the se ler phase, the owner of anoccupied Hacienda may, before he takes a face-up plantation tile, take an additional tile fromthe face-down stack and place it on an empty

space on his island. He may then take his normal turn in the phase (i.e. takea plantation, quarry, or forest as appropriate).

Note: if a player chooses to take a face-down tile, he must immediately place it on anempty space on his island. He may not discard it. If the player also owns an occupiedconstruction hut, he may not take a quarry instead of the face-down tile. Thus, if the

player with the se ler privilege owns a Hacienda, he may only take one quarry.

Note 2: If the owner of the Hacienda also own a Forest House, he can look at theHaciendas tile before deciding if he wants to place it face up or face down as a foresttile. Thus, the player could acquire up to two forests.Note 3: If the player also owns an occupied Hospice, he does not get a colonist forthe Haciendas extra tile.Note 4: The player may only gain one plantation tile from the Hacienda during eachse ler phase, even if he has an occupied Library. In this case, the Hacienda would

grant him an extra tile before he may select his rst island tile, never his second.

Construction HutIn the se ler phase, the owner of an occupiedConstruction Hut can place a quarry on hisisland instead of one of the face-up plantationtiles.

Note: if the owner of the Construction Hut is also allowed the se lers privilege, hemay only take one quarry.Note 2: If the player with the se ler privilege has both a Library and a ConstructionHut, he may take a quarry as both his rst and second island tile.

Forest HouseDuring the se ler phase, the owner of a ForestHouse can choose to place a forest instead of anIsland ti le on a free space of his island. To showthis, place the island tile face down (with the

green side showing). This tile is now considered a forest tile.

During the builder phase, each pair of forest tiles on your island gives youa discount of 1 doubloon for the construction of each building. This worksalso if the Forest House is not occupied at the time of construction. This

reduction is in addition to the builder and quarry reductions, but does notcome with a column restriction like the quarries. Forest tiles need not andcan not be occupied by colonists.

Example: the player has 6 forests and 2 occupied quarries, and is the builder;build a Large Warehouse, he pays nothing: 6 doubloons, -1 (builder), -2 (quarrie-3 (forests no column limit) = 0.Note: If the owner of the Forest House also uses the Hacienda or Land O ce (trad

phase only), he can look at the drawn tile before deciding if he wants to place it up or face down as a forest tile.Note 2: If the owner of the Forest House also own a Library, he can place 0, 1, o forest tiles. He may gain up to 3 forests if he also owns a Hacienda.Note 3: If the owner of the Forest House also owns a Hospice, he places the coloin San Juan.

Black MarketWhen the owner of an occupied Black Market builds a building, he may reduce the cost of the building by up to 3 doubloons by return ing atmost: one colonist, one good, and/or one VP to

the supply. Noblemen count as colonists for this ability.

Note: the player may choose which, if any, to return but no more than one of ea

Also, he may not have any doubloons le a er building. Thus, he may only use Black Market if he spent all of his doubloons rst.Example: the owner of an occupied Black Market wants to build the Harbordoubloons), but has only 6 doubloons. He spends 6 doubloons, then returns indigo and a colonist to the supply to help pay for the harbor. However, he could nalso discard a VP because the cost has already been fully paid.Note 2: If the owner of a Black Market discards a VP or a colonist once corresponding games ending condition has already been triggered, the game sends as usual.Note 3: The colonist on the Black Market may not be the one chosen to be returnColonists on quarries that were used to purchase the building cannot be removed further reduce the buildings cost.

Land Ofce

During the trader phase, when the owner of an

occupied Land O ces turn comes:

If the Land O ce is occupied by a colonist, thplayer may pay 1 doubloon to the bank to draw a plantation tile from one ofthe face-down piles, and place it on his island.

If the Land O ce is occupied by a nobleman, the player may discarda plantation or forest tile (but not a quarry) from his island to receive 1doubloon from the bank.

Note: the player may use the Land O ce in addition to, or instead of, selling a goas normal.Note 2: if a player chooses to take a face-down tile, he must immediately place ian empty space on his island. He may not discard it.Note 3: If the player also owns an occupied Forest House, he may look at the dratile before deciding to place it as a forest.Note 4: If you discard a tile occupied by a colonist or nobleman, he goes to Juan.Remember: As withall other buildings that have di erent functions when occupiby noblemen, this building may not use its colonist function when occupied bynobleman, and vice-versa.

Small WarehouseThe owner of an occupied Small Warehousemay store, at the end of the captain phase, inaddition to the single goods barrel he is allowedto store on his windrose, all the barrels of

one kind of goods of his choice. The warehouse protects the player fromreturning goods to the supply. However it does not protect the player from being required to load the goods onto the cargo ships.

2/4

Example: at the end of the captain phase, Ti any has 1 corn, 2 indigo, and 4 tobaccothat she did not ship. She chooses to store one barrel of indigo and all barrels of thetobacco. Therefore, she discards 1 corn and 1 indigo overall.Note: the goods chosen are not actually stored on the Small Warehouse tile, but onthe players windrose.

StorehouseAt the end of each captain phase, the owner ofan occupied Storehouse may, in addition to theone un-shipped good he is normally al lowed tokeep, keep three additional un-shipped goods

(barrels) of any kind or combination of kinds.Example: the owner of an occupied Storehouse also has an occupied Large Warehouse:he may keep all barrels of 2 kinds of goods plus 4 additional barrels of any kinds orcombination of kind of goods.

ChapelDuring the cra sman phase, the owner of anoccupied Chapel receives 1 doubloon from the bank if the Chapel is occupied by a colonist. Ifit is occupied by a nobleman, the owner recives

1 Victory Point instead.

nobleman, and vice-versa.

HospiceDuring the se ler phase, when the owner of anoccupied Hospice places a plantation or quarrytile on his island, he may take a colonist fromthe colonist supply and place it on the tile.

Note: If there are no more colonists in the colonist supply, he may take one from thecolonist ship. If there are also none there, he goes without.Note 2: if the player also owns an occupied Hacienda, he does not get a colonist forthe Haciendas tile.Note 3: if the player also owns an occupied Library, he may only take a colonist forthe rst island tile, never for the second.

GuesthouseIn the mayor phase, the owner of a Guesthousemay place up to two colonists in his guesthouse.He may later move these guests at the start,during, or at the end of all other phases to any

building, plantation, or quarry of his choice, where they immediately go towork and must remain until the next mayor phase. The guests may both bemoved in the same phase, or each be moved in di erent phases.

Example: at the end of the captain phase, the owner of an occupied Guesthousemoves one guest to his Storehouse and uses the Storehouse immediately to keep 3additional goods on his windrose. Later, he chooses the trader as his role, and movesthe second guest to his Library so he can double his trader privilege. These two guests, like normal colonists, remain on the Storehouse and Library until the nextmayor phase.

Hunting LodgeAt the end of every se ler phase, the owner ofthe Hunting Lodge receives either an action ora bonus:

If the Hunting Lodge is occupied by a colonist, he may discard a plantationor forest tile (but not a quarry) from his island without any compensation.

If the Hunting Lodge is occupied by a nobleman, he gains 2VP if he iscurrently the player with the most empty spaces in his island (not his city).In case of a tie, nobody receives the VPs.

Note: Any colonist or nobleman on a discarded tile goes to San Juan.Note 2: Forests may be discarded as though they were regular plantations.

Remember: As withall other buildings that have di erent functions when occupiby noblemen, this building may not use its colonist function when occupied bynobleman, and vice-versa.

Ofce

When the owner of an occupied O ce sells agood to the trading house in the trader phase,it need not be di erent than the goods al readythere. If the trading house is full, the player

cannot sell a good there.Example: the trading house already has a barrel of tobacco. Bob owns an occup

o ce and, on his turn, sells a tobacco to the trading house. Chris owns the otho ce. On her turn it is occupied, so she too can sell a tobacco to the trading housNote: players should not include both the O ce and the Trading Post buildingtogether in the same game.

any kind or of multiple kinds, into the goods supply. He then scores 1 VPfor every two goods shipped.

Example: If you load 3 indigo, 2 tobacco, and 1 corn, you gain 3 VP.Note: the Small Wharf may only be used once per captain phase.

Court SupplierThe owner of the Court Supplier can, when histurn comes for the rst time during the captainphase, before his rst loading, discard up to 1good into the supply for each nobleman he has

doubloon; for 3 kinds of goods, he earns 2 doubloons; for 4 kinds of goods, heearns 3 doubloons; and for all ve kinds of goods, he earns 5 doubloons. Thenumber of barrels produced plays no role.

Example: David owns an occupied Factory, 3 occupied corn plantations, 3 occupiedsugar plantations, 1 occupied tobacco plantation, and the associated productionbuildings with the necessary number of colonists. He produces only 2 sugar barrelsand 1 tobacco barrel, as there is no corn and only 2 sugar barrels remaining in thesupply. He earns 1 doubloon from the bank for producing 2 kinds of goods.

LighthouseEach time, during the captain phase, the ownerof an occupied Lighthouse loads goods onto acargo ship, he gains 1 doubloon. If the owner ofthe occupied Lighthouse is also the captain, he

Example: the owner of an occupied Harbor (and an occupied Wharf) can only loaof his 5 tobacco on the tobacco ship as those 3 ll it up: he earns 3+1 VP. In his nloading turn, he loads both his 2 sugar on the sugar ship: he earns 2+1 VP. In hnext loading turn, he uses his Wharf to put his remaining 2 tobacco in the supplhe earns 2+1 VP.

all the other players have chosen their plantations, the se ler may take aplantation from those remaining face-up. He may not take a quarry as hisdoubled privilege. The cra sman privilege may take two of the same goodor two di erent goods.

Note: if the player choosing the cra sman role is the owner of an occupied Librhe may take two of the same good or two di erent goods.Note 2: if the player chooses the se ler role and he has an occupied ConstructHut, he may take a quarry as his second plantation.
