## Description
If you're already a fan of Cacao and think the game is sweet enough, get ready to level up your chocolate production! This expansion, which debuted as a special treat in the 2016 Board Game Advent Calendar, introduces three brand-new huts to the board, adding an extra layer of strategy for those looking to dominate the cocoa market. Just a heads-up: you can't play this in isolation; it's a supplement that requires either the base game (Cacao) or the Chocolatl expansion to function. The gameplay involves integrating these new huts into the supply near the bank, following the rules you're already familiar with. Depending on which modules you've chosen for your session—such as the Map or the Chocolate module—the inclusion of these new pieces can shift the game's pace, demanding even more refined planning. It's the perfect addition for players who have mastered hand management and tile placement and are simply looking for a new flavor to break the routine. If you enjoy seeing area majority and influence battles get even more intense, these new huts are exactly the ingredient your table needs. It's a compact addition that shakes up the strategy for anyone striving for chocolate-making perfection!
