About Tropico

Tropico casts you as El Presidente running a Caribbean island through elections, edicts and tourist traps. Each game is standalone with the same joke: stay in power however you like.

Release order works, but most players just start with 4 or 6, the two most recommended entries.

Good to know

Expansions belong to their base game. Skip straight to 6 if you only play one.
