Chocolate Factory: Deluxe Edition

From Alley Cat Games:

It is the early 20th-century and you are an up and coming chocolatier. Upgrade your factory, hire employees, and use the unique conveyor belt system in the game to turn cocoa beans into a variety of delicious treats, selling to stores for profit. Featuring a literal engine (powered by coal), your conveyor belt will process cocoa beans and turn them into a variety of chocolate goods for sale. Choose your new factory parts and employees carefully as these will not only change the chocolate you are able to manufacture but also who you can sell your chocolates to! Earn the most profit to become the champion chocolatier!

Gameplay overview:
Players are each given a starting player board which will have two Factory parts which apply to a physical conveyer belt. The conveyer belt part of the player board contains long slot with an empty region in which to push square tiles along. The tiles will house the chocolate pieces players will manipulate throughout the game.

During the game players will initially draft new factory parts (to add to their player board) and specialists (one time use cards with special powers).

Then each player will “push” three times cocoa into their machines. During each “push” players will be able to use fuel and their factory parts to manipulate their Chocolate pieces. Careful consideration will be required for the spatial element of the game as Chocolate pieces can only be manipulated during a push by the Factory part that is adjacent to their tile.

Players score points by creating chocolates for public and personal objectives. The player with the most points at the end wins.

The deluxe edition of Chocolate Factory features the base game plus:

• Upgraded factory parts from mini cards to tiles (1.5mm thickness!),
• The first player marker (appx 80x30mm) and Day markers (appx 20x20mm) are now specially screen printed and relatively large custom wooden shapes,
• Your coal chits are now changed to black acrylic coal gems (40 in total)
• A premium box sleeve to top it all off!
