Enemy Chocolatier (2006)

About this game

Times are great for the Candyman. He's just re-opened his factory, sold millions of nut-covered chocolate logs, and taught the world something about love. But too much is never enough. Now he's looking for a recruit from among his staff to pose as his arch nemesis, the Enemy Chocolatier. If you're good enough, that just might be you! Players start at the Chocolate Factory and take over the city, one house at a time. Each neighborhood earns you money and points. What’s more, you get a little closer to completing your “secret recipe.” Enemy Chocolatier is a Euro-style strategy game with colorful, modular boards and lots of backstabbing and strategy!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
