User Reviews

Isla Rica is widely praised as a faithful, free, and ad-free digital adaptation of the Puerto Rico board game with solid gameplay and AI. However, users report issues with CPU behavior breaking rules or being repetitive, glitches in UI and resource displays, and missing convenience features like undo or better role selection information. The app lacks online multiplayer and suffers from some graphical and tutorial shortcomings, but overall it's a well-regarded port with room for improvement in AI and interface polish.

Pros

Faithful and enjoyable adaptation of the Puerto Rico board game with no ads and free to play.
Good AI opponents and statistics enhance gameplay experience.
Smooth and well-running app with a good representation of the classic board game.
Developer communication is positive, with fixes announced for bugs.
Supports pass-and-play multiplayer mode, compensating for lack of online multiplayer.

Cons

The CPU AI has notable issues such as predictable, repeating moves, rule breaks, and flawed resource management.
Several glitches are reported including UI bugs where game states get stuck or information is hidden (e.g., Trader resources, shipping points).
Lack of certain quality-of-life features like undo/confirm buttons, visible building availability before choosing roles, and automatic role skipping when not applicable.
Graphical presentation and interface could be improved, including better visuals of the island and clearer display of points and role-related info.
The in-game tutorial is insufficient or confusing for new players, requiring external guidance.

Good version however.... There are some noticeable rule breaks the CPU does. Multiple of the same buildings. Seems like incorrect worker claims as well.

Love the game. However, this app has several glitches. It allows computer opponents to retain all resources at end of captain turn. Further, it will skip the shipping for every other player except for the player that chooses the captain role for that turn. It's odd.
