About the game

What you do in a play session

Cacao: Volcanoes is an expansion that adds an explosive twist to the base game, replacing gold mines with volcanoes that can be both a blessing and a curse. Each volcano tile has two sides that reward you with 2 gold per connected worker and two sides that make you pay 1 gold per worker. So, be careful where you place these bombs! The expansion also includes a practical insert that keeps everything organized in the box, even if stored upright. Perfect for those who want a bit more strategy and risk in their cocoa farming.
