No, Puerto Rico's expansions aren't for premium, everyone can create games with expansion.

not according to Een in the original post:

Found this official PDF of the expansion 1 buildings and rules. If anyone has the nobles please share

I saw the club page and I didn't see PR expansions. So I throught they aren't for premium, sorry.

PR extensions are for BGA Club members only (but as always, everyone can join a game with the expansion even if not a Club member).

Yes. As we previously announced, we need to create a substantial catalog of games for paying members, probably around 10-15% of the games. As it is now, +95% of the games are free, so in 2016 there will be a lot of "Club members only" releases. But please keep in mind that almost all these "not free" games couldn't have been here on BGA or any other website "for free" because of their right-owners policies. Consequently the non-members are not really missing anything anyway, and this is a real bonus for members.

ah well i wasn't complaining, i'm just worried something might happen to the site since i used to spend so much time on it, as long as the site is doing fine everything's cool

You can post the link on the game page by clicking "add a new rules link here".
I also posted a link to the up to date rule from Alea (base game + expansions). I should have done that sooner I suppose

Really like the latest two updates. Seriously thinking about going premium right now

Huge fan. Fantastic job. You've cost me countless hours and produced unquantifiable enjoyment.

I know I've been a pain to the great people at BGA from time to time but you all do brilliant work.
