From Colony to Collaboration: Rethinking a Board Game Classic

We explore the fascinating evolution of the beloved board game Puerto Rico. Join us as we delve into its initial acclaim, the growing concerns surrounding its colonial themes, and the inspiring journey that led to its thoughtful redesign as Puerto Rico 1897. Discover how player feedback and a commitment to historical sensitivity transformed a classic into a more responsible and engaging experience. All informed by the writing of Nick Fortugno from the 2025 book, Well-Played by Play Story Press.
