Puerto Rico Expansions Return to Print in April 2019
Board Game: Puerto Rico
To add on to all the recent news from Rio Grande Games, the U.S. publisher has announced that in April 2019 it will release Puerto Rico: Expansions 1&2 – The New Buildings & The Nobles, a collection that contains The New Buildings and The Nobles expansions for Andreas Seyfarth's Puerto Rico that last saw print in 2009 as part of alea's Treasure Chest collection.

Here's an overview of these items for those who have missed out in the past decade:

Quote:
The New Buildings adds forests to the game and introduces the following new buildings: Aqueduct, Forest House, Black Market, Storehouse, Guesthouse, Church, Trading Post, Small Wharf, Lighthouse, Library, Speciality Factory, Union Hall, Cloister, and Statue. These buildings can be mixed and matched with the existing building in the Puerto Rico base game.

The Nobles includes tokens that are used like colonists, but some of the seven new buildings provide different properties depending on whether they are occupied by nobles or colonists.
From the press release announcing this release: "We have wanted to bring these expansions back into print so fans of the game, both new and old, would have the opportunity to play and own them", says Jay Tummelson, co-owner of Rio Grande Games. "We are happy that they will be available again to all of the fans of the game: past, present and future." The tentative MSRP for this expansion is $15.
