Gamers have loved Port Royal, or its Austrian counterpart Händler der Karibik, since the game’s European release. It won the Wiener Spiele Akademie Game Designer Award for 2013, and in 2015, it became the Vuoden Peli Family Game of the Year. Now it’s available from Steve Jackson Games! This quality, formerly elusive title offers push-your-luck decision making, resource management, and plenty of player interaction, all in one clever deck of cards.
Players become merchants in the Port Royal harbor, vying to hire the best Admirals, Traders, Soldiers, and Mademoiselles to expand and fortify their vast shipping empires. Port Royal has wide appeal. It’s easy to learn and fast to play, and its gameplay still satisfies more serious gamers.
