These are all violet buildings, with one notable exception. All buildings have 1 circle unless otherwise indicated in the description. The entries colored purple are the ones I like the best.

|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Building | Phase | Description |
| $1 | Gold Mine | Prospector | When anyone picks the Prospector role (including you), you get (an extra) $1 from the bank if there is a crop showing in the plantation draw that you don't have on your mat. |
| $1 | Crane | Builder | Allows you to upgrade an existing building to a higher-cost building, paying the difference between the costs of each. (The existing building is returned to the center mat.) If the building was manned, the colonist goes into San Juan Harbor (until the next Mayor phase). |
| $1 | Storeroom | Captain | Keep one extra barrel after all shipping is done. |
| $2 | Loan House | Builder | Lets you go into debt when buying bldgs (keep track with tokens, on a sticky note, etc.) up to $2 (or $3?), but you have to pay back (double?) what you overspent in VPs as you earn them. |
| $2 | Poorhouse | Builder | After buying a building, if you are left with $0 or $1, you get a barrel from the supply. The barrel you get is the one that has the cheapest trading value based on those that are available. (Most of the time, you'll get corn. If there's no corn in the supply, you get indigo, if no indigo, you get sugar, etc.) |
| $2 | Bookstore | Builder | On your turn, you can spend 1 VP to double the privilege of the role you just took. |
| $2 | Smuggler's Den | Any | On your turn, you can spend 1 VP, $1, 1 colonist, or 1 barrel to double the privilege of the role you just took. |
| $2 | Very Small Storehouse | Captain | Keep two extra barrels after all shipping is done. |
| $2 | Immigration Office | Mayor | +1 colonist when anyone picks Mayor role (same as the privilege on the Mayor role). |
| $2 | Storage Vault | Craftsman/Captain | (1 circle + 1 hex for a barrel) During the Craftsman phase, you may place one of the barrels you produced on this building. No player can force the shipping of the barrel so placed in the vault on any subsequent Captain phases. This building can only hold 1 barrel at a time. |
| $3 | Masonry | Builder | Your effective number of manned quarries is doubled for the purposes of calculating discounts. Example: If you have a manned quarry and a manned Masonry, you effectively have two manned quarries and can buy a large market for only $3 ($2 if you take the Builder role). A small warehouse would still cost you $2 (or $1 if you take the Builder role) because the maximum discount you can get is 1 quarry. |
| $3 | Very Small Wharf | Captain | You may ship exactly 1 barrel (not more than 1) of any type for 1 point. |
| Column 2 (2 quarry discount) | |||
| Cost | Building | Phase | Description |
| $4 | Hybrid Indigo/Sugar Plant | Craftsman | (2 circles) Half of this building is blue and
has one circle. If the blue half is manned (and there is an accompanying
manned indigo plantation) it produces 1 indigo barrel. The other half of the
building is white and has the other circle. If the white half is manned (and
there is an accompanying manned sugar plantation), it produces 1 sugar barrel.
Note: Sometime after I came up with this idea, I found this image. (Great minds think alike...) |
| $4 | Canal | Craftsman | Tobacco and coffee plants produce one extra barrel. (Like the Aqueduct, but for cash crops.) |
| $4 ($5?) | Training Hut | Craftsman | (3 circles) Obtain 0/1/2/3 colonists for 1/2/3/4+ types of goods you produce. Obtained colonists go into the empty circles and can be deployed on the next Mayor phase. If circles are all full, you obtain no colonists. |

| $4 | Shipper's Library | Various | Doubles the privilege of the Settler, Craftsman, and Captain roles. |
| $4 | Field House | Settler | At the start of the Settler phase, before anyone has drawn anything, you may place a colonist on one of the face-up plantations (or a quarry). Whoever takes that plantation, automatically gets a colonist to populate it. |
| $4 | Employment Center | Builder | At the start of the Builder phase, before anyone has drawn anything, you may place a colonist on one of the buildings available for sale. Whoever takes that building, automatically gets the colonist to populate it. Colonists so placed are not removed at the end of this phase. |
| $5 | Greenhouse | Settler | When you draw a plantation, you get money from the bank equal to 1/2 value of the corresponding barrel for that plantation at the trading house (round down). FrEx: corn=0, indigo=0, sugar=1, tobacco=1, coffee=2 Non-std crops (i.e. quarries, forests) pay nothing. |

| Column 3 (3 quarry discount) | |||

| $8 | Trading Ship | Captain | On your first turn shipping, you may chose to sell a barrel into the Trading House rather than loading it on a boat. You must observe all other trading rules. (Benefits of other trading-phase buildings still apply, e.g. sm/lg mkt., trading post, emporium, etc.) |
| $8 | Foreman's Tower (?) | Builder | No matter who takes the Builder role, you begin the buying. Play continues with whoever picked the Builder role, skipping yourself (IOW, during building phase, you play out of turn and get to buy first.) |
