BSW games: Carcassonne H&G, Puerto Rico

I played two games at the Brettspielwelt today. First I tried the new Carcassonne: Hunters & Gatherers. It was a two-player game, and I won. See the separate entry for a preview of the game.

The second game was, yet again, Puerto Rico. Another victory! This time it was close: 31-31-28 - I only won by a margin of two doubloons. My game was good - my opponents had large buildings (and the guy who tied me, had Guild Hall that must've been worth at least six points) while I had none and I still won. I had a great start: sugar, that paid tobacco, that paid coffee, that paid the Harbour.
