About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey Cacao fans! If you're already enjoying the delights of Cacao: Chocolatl and Cacao: Diamante, get ready for an extra special touch. This mini-expansion, which was hidden in the 2017 Brettspiel Adventskalender, adds three new huts that will bring an extra flavor to your cocoa plantation. They function just like the other huts, being added to the general supply and ready to be placed on the board. The neat part is that, depending on which Diamante modules you're using (Gem Mines, Tree of Life, or Favor of the Emperor), these new huts can slightly alter the dynamics. Don't worry, the basic rules for using the huts from the Chocolatl module still apply. It's a small expansion, but it brings that feeling of novelty without overly complicating the gameplay we already love. Perfect for those who want to add variety to their games without learning an entirely new game. Get your decks and tiles ready, because these new huts are waiting to be explored and conquered!
