Puerto Rico

Tiles must be occupied to function — a tile needs at least one colonist (circle filled) to use its ability, otherwise it does nothing; production happens during the Craftsman phase when occupied production buildings let you take goods (pages 4–5).

You must take a role placard on your turn, but you may choose not to use its action or privilege; the action is optional (exceptions: the captain’s loading action must be followed when a player can load, and the prospector has no shared action) (pages 3, 6–7).

Yes — occupied quarries reduce building cost according to the column limits and the builder’s -1 doubloon privilege applies in addition, but a building’s cost cannot be reduced below 0 (pages 4–5).

No — the trading house accepts only different kinds of goods (so you cannot sell a type already present) except when an office allows an exception; the trading house holds only four goods and a full house is emptied by the trader (page 5).

If you can load goods you must do so, you may load only one kind per turn, and you must load as many of that kind as you can; if multiple empty ships could accept that good you must choose the ship where you can load the most, leaving none behind if possible (page 6).

Each player may store one good token on their windrose between captain phases; all other goods must fit into your small/large warehouses or be returned to the supply if you lack space (page 6).
