Cocoa beans have had a surge in popularity lately, and several merchants have started to set up trading businesses in an attempt to make massive amounts of money from the business...Rules:
This expansion puts the
trade back into 'trade goods'.
At any point of the game, in the 'move the wood' stage (instead of placing a follower etc.), a player may trade; 1 cloth, 1 wheat and 2 wine trade goods for a cocoa trade good. The used wine, wheat and cloth trade goods get removed from the game.
At the end of the game, the player with the most cocoa trade goods gets 2 points for each trade good inside a completed city (the city must be completed!), as well as 5 points for each pig of another player's colour remaining in a field at the end of the game. In case of a tie, all players involved in the tie get the full points.
Interactions with other official expansions:Abbey and Mayor At the end of the game, the player with the majority of cocoa trade goods also gains 5 points for each wagon of another player's colour remaining in play.
Interactions with unofficial expansions:Apothecaries and Tithes 1 herb token must also be exchanged along with 1 cloth, 1 wheat and 2 wine in order to gain a cocoa trade good.

Fountain of Youth or
Health and Holiness or both, then 2 herb tokens must be used along with 1 cloth, 1 wheat and 2 wine.
