Take apprentices' final examinations and attain master craftsman's diplomas to get better trained employees, procure jewelry for your guests, and hire specialists. The Rococo: Jewelry Box expands the base game Rococo without changing its basic rules. A total of 28 additional employees (10 apprentices, 9 journeymen, and 9 masters) with new bonuses will enter the game in three different ways, increasing the replayabilty tremendously. On top of it, there are new strategic options such as the Jeweler with the »Jewelry« resource in multiple colors, as well as the apprentices' final examination and the master craftsman's diploma. In each game, you'll have to make up your mind again which combination of all those many possibilities to try. And remember to keep an eye on your opponents!
