¿Question #446?
shotokanguy: Does Puerto Rico deserve its number one game status?

ocdspectrum: No. Slavery and stuff.
tclynch: No
Mad Math: Yep.
oldhoss: I don't think it is anymore. These things are fleeting.
Woelf: More than TS, at least.
bcooperok: I don't think so, it doesn't even qualify as a state.
mwandjm: Yes. I sort of love the game, but set up takes so long :(
mcpranno: in which universe?
fliptrackr: yes
kingofthegrill: nope, agricola does
dseligson: no
Wabete: haven't played it yet
Fairer Sex: Not any more
Kavu: probably (at least for this minute)
Frubgarde: Only once it has the moral courage to refer to 'colonists' as 'slaves'.
TamaNekoChan: If it doesn't, then it's mighty darn close.
LazarusDarkeyes: No
gberry: Yes.
dogzard: never played it
WonderLlama: Yes.
ZeroZilla: Sure does. I've started a thread to that effect. That being said, I suck at it, and it's not my favorite game.
paattymaton: yes
Gelatinous Goo: I guess so, it's been ranked as such, hasn't it
atrium: I say the top 10 games should have their scores hidden, and just be shown as "top ten". Any game good enough to be in the top ten is really good, and it's meaningless to draw special attention to one game that is a minute fraction higher rated than another.
mckeon13: I think it is a very good game, what else could content for the #1 spot. If it PR gets played all the time, and scores high marks from the players, then it deserves the #1 spot
le_cygne: Probably.
kingmaker fan: Nothing is better than Kingmaker.
DHEK: Yes. It's really good!
stevegamer: No
Benzebub: You try telling the BGG community that it doesn't, and tell me how that goes.
Wes Robiinson: yes
Sandy Petersen: probably
BethR: No. definately not!!
POvidiusNaso: It's as good as any other.
aleo09: not sure but it's definately top 15.
diehard4life: Sometimes it does. But between the top games, subtleties exist which will sway their rankings between the geek contingent, and waver public opinion.
Red Dragon: The second-tallest tree in the forest is only an inch shorter than the tallest, so who cares which one is 'number 1'?
ryokowerx: No. Next question!
bigbadsteve: it tries
SisyphusX: Yes.
dmomo: Will find out soon
jcarvin: Why not, it's a great game. That many geeks can't be wrong.
Admiral Fisher: Probably not.
wargamer66: Yes. Most people here think so, i'm just not one of them
Chris Page: Maybe not, but something's got to be number one.
dictator555: Yes.
_Kael_: apparently: yes.
Hoju: no, but then I have an uninformed opinion
Dorque: Nope.
miyazakigrognard: Emphatically not!
jasta6: Don't know. I have not played it yet. Should I?........................................
Mark.Watson: No, but it probably deserves to be in the top 50.
Ebon Wendigo: Dunno, never played it.
WatchmanX2000: no way in hell
brainrob: It's a great game, but not the best
Bahamut-X: yes and no
SteveK2: I guess we collectively feel it deserves it slightly more than whatever game is rated #2
fastfingers: yes
Fawkes: It's not a matter of PR "deserving" to be #1, it's just the way it is.
shawn_low: Yes.
JCooperofCharity: No
ssmooth: Yes, I think so.
Spud: No.
dietevil: Sure, if that many people like it that much. But I thought Die Macher was game number one :)

sourwyrm: i think so

meshuggener: Yes.
Nap16: No.
mrbeankc: No
xethair: No
Redneon: NO.
Basilius: probably. but it's under seige big time.
SwedeLad: No.
skrutsch: I believe so.
Windopaene: Yes
snoozefest: y
sdownin: Not really.
BrokenNails_NZ: As long as "number one" doesn't imply that it is everything to everyone...
Jern: Njah
seanp: I hope so - I bought it on spec.
heli: tautology
2amp: never played it
Wintergoblin: no
isolated: Nope.
RaDiKal: Would you prefer Monopoly as #1?
Oborro: it is a good game...
puffinge: It deserves to be somewhere way up there.
kennyb: more than likely....still have to play it...
gnomehome: It seems so, lots of high scores.
davedanger: hahahahahahahahahaha
Aelf: Absolutely, no other game defines the hobby in quite the same way.
HBGlover: It's a very good game. I can't think of a better game that appeals to such a wide audience.
jellospike: Yeah, but it should share more.
Johan: Haven't played it enough to comment
P.O.G.G.: sure, but I'm sure most people would say they are better games
Blackwind: yep
GuyHill: yes
fsumarc: It does for the people who think it's the best..
thoia: Yes.
Bluenose: At the moment, probably yes.
TiNYTimIDFluffYBunnY: no it does not
dakarp: Sure.
Dave: No way. Settlers and E&T have been working hard for years for that #1 position, when all Puerto Rico did was kneel in front of Aldie.
Whirlinghurly: most of the time- no
bop517: Yeah, I think so. My favorite? No. But it's very good.
sumo: Well, people like it. I am not that keen.
Chump: I don't think it's a good game, but it's certainly played often, and many adore it, so I'd have to say, "yes".
Gorski: Sure
haraggan: Not in my book
Glamorous Mucus: It's not my number one, but yes, it deserves it. Who am I to say it doesn't?
netfilterz: Pfff... I don't care, it's not like it's a popularity contest. Oh wait...
AngusBull: It's still there at number 1, so I have to say yes.
BobDodgerBlue: Yes
Mozbink: Yes. As Forest Gump would say "Number 1 is, as number 1 does....."
geberus: nope
jaredh: probably not.
louiseh: yes
Geosphere: no
Claytonius Maximus: Sure.
chaddyboy_2000: I don't particularly like it, but if that many people rated it that highly, it probably does.
Ludocrazy: Yes. It's an amazing game.
ejmowrer: No.
Shakar: Maybe, maybe not.
TD2008YDS: not in a million years
manowarplayer: No
djlg: Apparently.
queequeg: Sure
jttm: Yes
LudesFactor: certainly, why not?
Reloaded: dunno
Linnaeus: It's not my favourite game, but I don't have any real problem with it being no. 1
WonderCinz: Yes.
CortexBomb: Absolutely. It's not my favourite game, but it is a very high quality title that everyone I play with at least likes.
CheetohFingers: well its there isn't it?
TamiWhitsett: no. but it's definitely top 10-worthy.
Aldie: Probably.
Debate: No
Spielfreak: Yes
Lardarse: Hell, no!
seppo21: It's a game. It doesn't "deserve" anything. Clearly, enough people on this site like it well enough to rate it higher than anything else (when using a Bayesian Average).
tomski: It deserves joint number one with a few others.
ensor: Haven't played enough to evaluate
janiera: Yes
Skyjack: No
ValJor: Yes, it's the best of all time
Jim_P: No
ynnen: No. It is a great entry game, but requires an optimum experience mix for savvy gamers -- giving it horribly limited replay value
EYE of NiGHT: Evidently.
ScottBecker: I dont think so
shumyum: no
Flyspeck23: Barely.
CDRodeffer: No
skelebone: Perhaps.
