## Description
If you're already a fan of Cacao and feel like adding more spice to the mix (or should we say, more beans to the plantation!), Diamante is your go-to expansion. This pack introduces four brand-new modules that can be played individually, combined with each other, or even mixed with the Cacao: Chocolatl expansion. Want even more? There's the 'Big Game' variant to bring EVERYTHING together: the base game, Diamante, and Chocolatl. It's for those who want to dive headfirst into the world of cacao and explore new strategies.

The modules introduce elements like gem mines, offering a new scoring method and resource competition; the Tree of Life, which provides unique benefits and can alter the game's flow; the Emperor's Favor, introducing secret or public objectives that add extra drive to the competition; and the New Workers, expanding action options and potentially making the game more dynamic. Each module brings a different flavor, allowing you to customize the gameplay experience each time you play. If you enjoy Cacao and crave more variety and depth, this expansion is a feast. Get ready for a richer, more challenging experience, with more tactical and strategic options to dominate the cacao and gem market!
