Puerto Rico table size
Clear at least 48 × 36 inches. If you have the room, 60 × 42 inches will feel much better.
Sized for base game, five players.
How much space should you clear?
121.9 × 91.4 cm · 12 sq ft
152.4 × 106.7 cm · 17.5 sq ft
The smaller number assumes a tidy setup with little spare room. The larger number gives people room to handle cards and reach shared pieces. Neither includes drinks, the box, or open rulebooks.
The inner box is the squeeze-it-in setup; the outer box is the relaxed setup.
