The Effect of Turn Order on Outcomes in Puerto Rico

In July 2010 I began keeping track of the scores generated by family and friends in Puerto Rico games. The data recorded is limited to the date and the scores in the order in which the players played. At this time 63 games have been recorded.

For the purposes of this analysis the scores are considered by the number of players in the game. The following charts display the share of total game points in games with 3, 4 and 5 players.
