Presentation

Cacao Diamante

Gems, Emperor and Workers

In the worker placement and tile placement game Cacao you hold eleven worker tiles featuring between zero and three workers along one edge and place them adjacent to jungle tiles; jungle and worker tiles alternate in the display. Depending on the type of jungle tile bordering your worker(s), you receive cacao fruits or sell cacao fruits or move the water carrier on the score track. Temples score gold for victory points for majorities in adjacent workers at the end of the game. Sun worshipping places give you sun tokens to overbuild worker tiles or score gold at the end, you can only own three at any given time. When all workers are placed, you win with most gold.

CACAO DIAMANTE offers another four modules for use in any combination with Cacao c and Cacao Chocolatl. The Gem Mines: Temples are replaced with gem mines; mask tiles are on display. On mines placed in the display you put gems from the trolley, activated worker on adjacent tiles give one gem each, and a set of four colors must be swapped for a mask which gives gold at the end. The Tree of life replaces gold mines; adjacent tiles with activated workers give one gold per worker, tile without adjacent workers give three gold. The Favour of the Emperor: If a tile is placed in the column with the emperor you get one gold and the emperor is moved to the new tile. The New Workers: Tiles with various new worker distributions, you can use them in any combination or more tiles in total.

True to their valuable-sounding names, the new modules introduce impressive revenues and advantages, especially interesting are the three golds for no adjacent workers.
