About this board game
Chocolatiers is a 20-minute board game for 2–5 players about boxing chocolates into a decadent display. Take on the role of a young chocolatier, gather chocolates, claim box tiles, and aim to finish with the most victory points.
Sharing is caring in the world of chocolates. On your turn, draw three chocolates into your hand, then keep only one. The chocolates you do not keep help shape the choices available in the game, making each selection an important part of building your display.
Once you have chosen your chocolate, discard chocolates to claim box tiles. Every box tile rewards you with victory points, but simply collecting boxes is not enough. Pay attention to how each tile fits into your growing display, because connected chocolate-types can earn valuable bonus points.
- Draw three chocolates and keep one.
- Discard chocolates to claim scoring box tiles.
- Build a connected display to compete for chocolate-type majorities.
- Craft a WILD chocolate that matches all adjacent chocolate-types.
Majority bonuses reward players who create strong connections between matching chocolate-types. If your display cannot quite make the right connection, your chocolatier has a special option: craft a WILD chocolate. This flexible chocolate matches with every adjacent chocolate-type, helping you compete for majorities.
With its compact play time and focused tile-claiming decisions, Chocolatiers challenges you to balance the chocolates you keep, the boxes you take, and the shape of your display. Claim the right tiles, connect your chocolate-types, and become the next world-famous chocolatier by scoring the most points.
