Cacao

Cacao is a tile-laying game where players become chiefs of tribes cultivating cacao, one of the world's most sought-after luxury goods. On their turn, players place worker tiles adjacent to jungle tiles, strategically positioning their workers to gain the most valuable benefits. The placement of your worker tiles dictate the actions you can take, such as selling cacao at the market, constructing mines to harvest gold, or establishing temples to earn favor.

The core of the gameplay lies in carefully choosing where to place your worker tiles, as the adjacent jungle tiles will determine the strength of your action. Balancing your worker placement to maximize cacao production, secure valuable resources, and control key areas of the board is crucial for victory. As the jungle expands, players must adapt their strategies to efficiently manage their workforce and dominate the cacao trade.
