Product Information

Set sail and join the colonial powers of Spain, England, France and the Netherlands in their fight for supremacy of the Caribbean in the 17th century. In ‘Port Royale 4’ you will take control of a colony as a young and ambitious governor who is eager to learn what it takes to manage and grow his small settlement into a bustling trader city. Each player takes turns revealing their harbour, trading with ships and recruiting crew until one player reaches 12 VPs. Final thoughts on Port Royal Parker, Sam (June 20, 2003).

Each person card has 3 points of interest. The Cost is how much it will cost to hire this person. The Points are how much this person will be worth in victory points at the end of the game. The Benefit is what players will receive for keeping this card in front of them. In the example below the Trader costs 5 coins, is worth 2 victory points, and provides an additional coin when taking a blue ship from the Harbor display. You will try to gain gold coins with which you will hire various persons who will give you permanent abilities to aid you. They, as well as Expeditions, will also yield you victory points which will bring you victory in a game of Port Royal.Ah come on... they won't notice or care... throw in some customization for the ship. Let them create their own flag. It'll be fine"

I think Port Royal will work well as both a family game and also as a filler game, on the far heavy side of the spectrum, for your gamer friends (if a 30 minute game can be considered a filler game). Give this one a look today though, it’s engaging game play and really low price point make it a win in my book. Unterwegs is a standalone, stripped-down with new characters that can also serve as an expansion for the base game. Ein Auftrag geht noch… introduces the new game element “Contracts” as well as a cooperative and a solo variant to play the game. Port Royal + Expansions Set Up

Play continues in this manner until one player has reached 12 victory points. At that time each player receives another “current player” turn and the game will end. The winner of the game is the one with the most victory points. The player takes 1 Ship from the harbor display, and puts it into the discard pile. He now gains as many coins as are depicted on the banner at the top of the card. Port Royale places the player within real historic locations. You are given the option to choose between 4 different times in history – 1570, 1600, 1630 or 1660. Each of these timelines has direct influence over the game play. You will witness wars, disasters and much more in this rich and dangerous world. So be prepared for everything and ready your cutlass and pistol – the adventure awaits! When expedition cards are drawn, they’re immediately placed to the side in view of all players. When a player hires a person who allows them to fulfill an expedition card, they discard the person cards and place the expedition card in front of them. Just like person cards, the expedition card features points, benefits, and cost. The benefit is received immediately when a player takes an expedition card. Tax Increases
