Puerto Rico - Rules - The Roles

Each role grants the player who takes the card a special privilege, and also, a specific action that can be taken by each player, in clockwise order, starting with the player who took the role (exception: prospector).

Basic rules for all role cards:

• If a card has one or more doubloons on it, the player who takes the card gets the doubloons in addition to the privilege and action associated with the card.
• The action associated with a role card is always taken first by the player who took the card, followed by the others in clockwise order.
• A player must always take a role card when it is his turn to do so, but he may choose not to use the action or privilege of the card he chose. The other players, of course, get their turns at the action of the card.
• The action of a role card is optional (exception: captain). A player may choose not to or be unable to use the action on his turn.
• A role card remains in front of the player who took it until the end of the round. It may not be taken by another player in the round.

Every player is allowed to take the action associated with the role (exception: prospector).

The privilege associated with the role may only be used by the player taking the role card.
