Preparation

Requires the Traders and Builders Expansion to play.

Deploy a follower

On any player’s turn, instead of placing a follower, pig, barn or builder, placing a tower block, moving the fairy, rescuing a
besieged knight, etc., he or she may trade 1 cloth trade good, 1 wheat trade good and 2 wine trade goods for a cocoa trade
good. All resources traded for the cocoa trade good return to the side and are not used again in the game.

Final Scoring

At the end of the game, the player holding the most amount of cocoa trade goods receives 2 points for each trade good icon
that is inside a completed city

, plus 5 points for each pig of another player’s colour left remaining on the board.

If the Abbey and Mayor Expansion is being used, the player holding the most cocoa trade goods at the end of the game also
gains 5 points for each wagon of another player’s colour remaining on the board.

Changes with Fan-Made expansions

If using Apothecaries and Tithes, 1 herb token must also be exchanged along with 1 cloth, 1 wheat and 2 wine. If Fountain of Youth
and/ or Health and Holiness are being used as well then that is increased to 2 herb tokens that must be exchanged in addition to
the others listed above.

At the end of the game the player with the most cocoa trade goods also gains 1 point for each apothecary inside a completed
city.

Fruit Traders
If Fruit Traders is also being used, a pineapple trade good may be traded instead of a wheat trade good in order to gain a cocoa
trade good.

An Apple a Day
If An Apple a Day is being used, then any apple trade good (regardless of whether it contains any special effects or not) may be
used instead of a wine trade good in order to gain a cocoa trade good, but there is a maximum of 1 apple trade good per
cocoa trade good.

Gold Mines
If Gold Mines is being used, a player may trade a gold trade good instead of one wine trade good in order the gain a cocoa
trade good, but there is a limit of one gold trade good per cocoa trade good. If An Apple a Day is also being used, only one
apple or gold trade good may be used as a substitute per cocoa trade good.
At the end of the game, the player with the majority of cocoa trade goods also gains 2 points for each uncompleted gold mine
on the board.

The Kettle of Fish, Timber! and Lavender Fields unofficial expansions have no impact on Cocoa Traders.
