To play: 2-4 players try in this tiles worker placement game turns your workers (always four mounted in varying degrees on the four sides of the small card) to place in the jungle. With the workers solve the following "income" in the accompanying jungle tile from: cocoa harvest (one and two fields), sale of harvested cocoa (value 2-4 per bean), improved access to water (bringing in the final scoring a lot of points) Fund in the gold mines (1-2), purchase of worship platelets or majority influence at the temple (this income is multiplied by the number of workers). The platelets can be always applied only to jungle tiles (it arises gradually a checkerboard pattern). If when you create a free Eckfeld between two workers platelets, so must of the Quick File folder of jungle tile one (may be in extreme cases, up to 3) selected and placed in the gap. Lying in this jungle platelets workers (this should ideally involve in its planning), so the players benefit these workers with the respective income.
From his stack to workers platelets you always have three obvious choice and completes this after each train back to three.
To store the worship plate (up to 3 possible), the cocoa beans (up to 5 possible) and access to water is an individual player tableau.
The last jungle consumes platelets, the platelets of worship (value = 1 gold) are used. With the payment of this can ever platelets unfiled workers platelets again put to any worker tile of his color, and thus once again trigger a vote this tile.
At the end the player with the most gold.

In the BRETTSPIELBOX are: 44 workers platelets (11 per in red, purple, white and yellow), each 1 Sociable wooden and 1 village tableaux in the 4 player colors, 28 forest tiles neutral (8x plantation, 7x market, 3x bonanza, 3x water, 2x sun worship, 5x Temple), 20 Cacaofrüchte wooden, 12 sunstones and 48 gold coins.
Great material, which not only impresses with its bright colors and quality.
Also noteworthy is the box inlay. Here one has the part of the publishing house had a lot of thoughts to be always tidy the box. Small drawback. The manual is unfortunately a bit too large, and now flexes in the box.
Getting Started - 08
The rules are written easy to understand. To simplify all platelets are stated on a separate sheet in addition. This no longer is needed, but after a few games also.
Feeling - 08
First of all falls on the great material, the beautiful colors. For this, the gameplay is easy to understand. At first glance, a certain comparison to Carcassonne is not completely abwägig, but the game is distinguished from an independent rating.
It goes too fast, because you can even with the trains of the other players already many boat ideas through play (this of course succeed better in fewer players). In addition, it must be remembered even when set platelets that these can also be used by others. This will, inter alia, the interaction between players held high.
The tightening of the jungle as well as the working plate served fortunate element. I have this but not seen as overly dominant. Toll is also how the game gives so little by little, by placing the tile and you can see the jungle "grow".
The water as well as the place of worship platelets should not be underestimated in its considerations, especially since they are not as likely to happen in the game.
In both the two and in a line-up with up to four players can play the game well. Even though my duel variant has almost promised even more, because the influence of the individual player on the game here later. Alone with a brooder I would rather reluctantly play the game, because among other things, the game is in the Kurzweiligkeit the game.
Long-term fun - 07
Since different players just think differently, come luckily always different game histories to pass. This is given by the modularity of the platelets.
Very suitable for the family. Seen in particular due to the short running time of maximum 45 minutes at family players and at faster frequent players in just over 30 minutes along with the beautiful game mechanism always happy. However, just last group is calling for more highlights.
... Because the game is crying out after that there will be an extension to give the game up a notch far more depth. It would be desirable to see from abacus to eat a little more.
