Full publisher description

Cacao: Volcanoes contains three volcano tiles that replace the three gold mines. Each volcano tile has two edges that give a player 2 gold per attached worker and two edges that make a player pay 1 gold per attached worker. Thus, the placement of these volcanoes should be chosen carefully... Additionally, the punchboard works as an inlay for the box to keep all components in place even when storing the box upright or transporting it.
