In this game you have to control a tribe who are engaged in cocoa cultivation. The better you farm, the more money you can earn from the plantations, which is an essential condition for victory in the game. The game essentially operates with a tile placement engine, which is easy to learn, but gives great depth to the party.

Discover the primeval forest!

You all start the game with a "deck" of tiles, from which you can draw three. When it is your turn, you must play one of these tiles. Which one you play depends only on your strategy. The tiles are the same in that there are 4 workers on each, but what is different is the distribution of the workers on the edges of the tiles. There are tiles with one worker on each edge, but there are also tiles with two workers on one edge and one worker on both sides. Tile placement depends on the neutral "map" tiles. Each such neutral track element allows you to perform a different action. There are tiles where you can get main cocoa, there are those where you can sell cocoa or get money from a gold mine, and the like. You can perform the action drawn on neutral tiles as many times as there are workers on the edge of your own tile that is in contact with it. So essentially, the game is about placing your own tiles in the most optimal way for you between the pieces of the "map" given by the ever-growing neutral tiles.

The world is not only made of cocoa

Although the eponymous element of the game is cocoa, you can by no means only profit from it. Among the neutral elements, there are many that can lead to victory points in other ways than cocoa production, and there are even actions with which you can replace your existing tiles, so the strategic part can become even deeper.
