Rules, examples and scoring explanations
Puerto Rico 1897 scores victory points earned during shipping plus printed building values and qualifying final-building bonuses.
Victory-point chips from shipping
VP earned during Captain phases remain hidden/recorded as required by the edition and are added to your final score.
Building values
Add the victory-point value printed on each building in your city. A building must satisfy the current edition’s staffing/activation requirements if its special scoring text requires it.
Large final-scoring buildings
Resolve any large violet building that awards bonus points from your plantations, occupied city spaces, workers, goods or other listed conditions. Apply each building’s exact text.
End-game triggers
Finish the current role round after an official end condition is reached. Common triggers involve the worker supply, VP supply and a player filling all city-building spaces.
Highest VP wins
Add shipping VP, building VP and final bonuses. Use the Puerto Rico 1897 tiebreak procedure if totals are equal.
