Expansion
In January 2004, Alea released an expansion to Puerto Rico. The addition consists of 14 new buildings that may be used alongside or instead of the original 17.
A second expansion was under development, but it was later announced that it was canceled. Instead, an expansion is included in the Alea 10th anniversary 'treasure chest' released in 2009, which contains expansions for a number of different Alea games. The Puerto Rico expansions included consist of the original expansion as well as a small expansion of several new buildings and red 'nobleman' colonists, which interact with the new buildings. An English language translation was released at the end of 2009 by Rio Grande Games.
An iPad version was launched in August, 2011.

“We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inventions—telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles—they are all leading somewhere. It’s up to us to be on the inside in the forefront of progress.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Every expansion of government in business means that government in order to protect itself from the political consequences of its errors and wrongs is driven irresistibly without peace to greater and greater control of the nation’s press and platform. Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
