ALLES GESPIELT

SCHOKOly Chili

SÜSSes mit Biss

48 chocolate tiles show pieces in three colors and players try to lay out the biggest bar in their color.

You hold four tiles; the starting player chooses a color, places a tile and draws a tile; the second player does the same, and the third player, too. In a game of two one color is neutral and is scored for the player who managed most connections to the neutral color. In a game of four you play in two teams.

Tiles must be placed to continue one of the colors and with at least two pieces on the tile bordering other tiles, not over corners, but along edges. Tiles with red Smarties on them can be also put on top of tiles already in place, must touch a minimum of two tiles and cannot be overbuilt themselves. When the last tile is placed you win with the biggest area in your color, each chocolate piece earns one point.

The Chili expansion for Schokoly features 6 Chili tiles and 6 Action tiles. Each player draws one Chili tile, the rest is shuffled into general stock. Action tiles are on display open-faced - you can: play a second tile from your hand, rotate a tile in the playing area, take a Smartie off the area, swap a tile from your hand with one from the area or relocate a tile within the playing area. If you place a Chili tile according to the standard rules, you then choose an action tile and implement it, but only for tiles without Smartie! Chili cards can be moved and built over, but not taken back in hand, and are scored like normal tiles at the end of the game.

Even with chili this chocolate remains tasty, the basically abstract game is attractive and plays quickly and intuitively, a good dessert for a games evening.
