Variant Cards

Schoko and Co is a great little, game, but the Random event cards leave something to be desired. After all, there are only 7 of them. Not very random. So, Alan Moon introduced a number of new event cards. One type is called the Wirchafteains and the other the Express. When I asked Dave Sidore what the difference was, well, he wasn't sure. Some of the cards aren't clear to me, so this is a rough draft.

Original Cards

Just so you can copy them over onto your new card set.

The player that paid the most salary this month gets $50,000.
All contracts at the bookeeper are cancelled.
No cocoa available next month.
Each player must remove 5 bars of chocolate from storage.
Pay $5,000 per bar of chocolate in storage.
No new bookeepers may be hired next month.
Each worker only produces 1 bar of chocolate next month.

The Alan Moon Wirch-whatever Cards

Secretaries Strike -- No contracts processed by secretaries next month.
Tax Increase -- All players reveal cash on hand and pay the bank $10,000.
Coca crop damaged -- Minimum bid of $5,000 per Cocoa bid next month.
No new workers may be hired next month.
Chocolate Glut -- Any contract for 50 or 60 tons are discarded without replacement. Question -- Is this contracts that are being processed, or does it mean contracts that come up during next months sales meetings?

The Alan Moon Express Cards

Since I don't know the difference between these cards and the others, I just say that there isn't.

Give 1/2 Bars of chocolate to the bank. (Round up).
Increased Demand - There will be 4 extra sales meetings next month. (I'm not sure if this is an express card or a Wirchaftains card.)
