Review: Bought for my son-in-law, played together at Christmas. Was wondering what this newer version would be like as I've played the old version. loved it. Nice graphics, good sturdy wooden pieces. And it's a great game!
Review: I bought the Puerto Rico 1897 (english/french version) from desertcart.es on the 15th of April 2024 and received it on the 19th of April 2024. On the 20th of April I got to open the game and take a look at its contents to check if this was indeed the corrected version. Indeed it seems the corrected version, partially at least, however, the instructions manuals are not the corrected ones, and the tiles mat is missing the coin price number in the french side. I am sending photos attached to show this. I already sent an email to Ravensburguer requesting replacement of these parts, I am still waiting for a reply. Other than this this is a classic fantastic game that I can recommend buying as long as you get it without any of the issues that have plagued it since its initial launch in 2022.

Recibí mi copia desde Amazon Estados Unidos y ya es la versión actualizada con los componentes adecuados. La caja viene sin la envoltura de plástico, pero viene sellada con 4 pegatinas en cada lado de la misma.
