chocolatier matching and resource game
Posted by debbie on June 14th, 2007
Yummm… chocolate. What could be better than one of my food obsessions? Combining it with a game obsession, of course. This tasty game combines a mouthwatering premise (you make chocolates) with a dash of resource management and the thrill of global journeys and starting a business.
As the title character, you inherit some recipes from a relative and you’re on your way to starting a chocolate empire. Collect recipes, buy ingredients, sell exclusive chocolates, and purchase factories.
The matching part of the gameplay is pretty easy. Each chocolate requires a certain number and combination of ingredients. You buy these, and then set up your factory to make them. Each time, you have to play a mini-game to see how fast you can make the chocolates.
But the real challenge of the game is balancing what you’re making with what you spend. Expanding is tough. Making sure the factories stay productive, buying low and selling high, and buying the best property were the ingredients that made this game fun for me. Just as in real life, growing a business was hard, but when I succeeded, I was ecstatic.
