About the game
Small post card expansion for Cacao. This was first distributed to all Patreon supporters of the German Bretterwisser podcast. It's not made of thick cardboard like the tiles of Cacao, it's just like a regular postcard. Rules: This move can be played by each player in the game once. Instead of placing a worker tile next to a jungle tile, a player has the opportunity to place a 1-1-1-1 worker tile on the grey space on the postcard. Subsequently the player may now choose 2 from the 4 adjacent jungle tiles on the card an execute their action once. Afterwards the worker tile is placed face down next to the postcard, for other players to see, who already used the postcard.
