Cacao has simple rules, is ideal as a family game, and breathes new life into Legespiel genre!

CACAO is a placement game with simple rules, a very pleasant playing time and high replayability appeal. In the game (almost) everything revolves around the eponymous fruit of the gods. We use our working to reduce Cacaofrüchte which we can then sell on markets. In addition, we are still struggling way to temple-majorities, dig into gold mines for gold and visit sun worship and water points. We solve all actions easily from, by creating worker tile from our hands to jungle tiles gradually, creating a checkerboard pattern of workers' and jungle tiles. On the workers' platelets are four workers, but distributed differently so it is always to think twice about which tiles you want to how and where to invest that jungle platelets. Dear create the page with the two workers at the double plantation in order finally to have a supply of Cacaofrüchten or application to the also popular watering hole to be able to run two steps with the water carrier? Or maybe just one of the temples in order to secure majority ...?

PERSONAL OPINION:

HUNTER 8/10
+ Very round, family-compatible Legespiel
+ Successful development of Carcassonne
+ Power itself much fun players
- Limited tactical depth
- Invent not the Legespiel new

CRON 8/10
+ Clearly understandable and simple rule that raises no questions
+ Breath of fresh air in the placement game genre
+ Successful idea with the handling of the working plate
+ Works well in any occupation
+ Depending on when that jungle platelets come into play, it plays differently
+ Provides exactly like Carcassonne for countless themed offshoot of, ho-ho ...
- Who comes close to no of the 4-markets, has a hard time
- Chronic Legespiel muffle will not be happy here too ...

What else is to know:
The publisher Abacusspiele should be well known to most players because two games of the publishing house have already been awarded with the title game of the year: 2007 ZOOLORETTO by Michael Schacht, 2013 HANABI by Antoine Bauza. In addition, among other titles such as Pony Express, MEDICI, Samarkand, MAMMA MIA, BANG !, Majestro LEONARDO and Darjeeling are published by Abacus Spiele since inception in 1989.

AS THE SELF PUBLISHING DESCRIBES THE GAME:
CACAO takes players into the exotic world of the fruit of the gods. As tribal leaders trying to lead their people by trading Cacao to glory and prosperity. Only those who cleverly uses its workers and with power of the gods to use for itself knows will be richly rewarded. Simple rules and short playing time make Cacao an exciting match game for the whole family.
