Setup

Bookkeeping Board

Place the Bookkeeping board in the middle of the table.

1 Place the Day marker on the 'Monday' space of the week track.

2 Put the £50 coins in the marked space.

3 Sort the Factory Parts into two decks (A and B) and shuffle each deck separately. Place the B deck face down on the marked space, and stack the A deck face down on top of the B deck.

4 Sort the Corner Shop Order cards into three decks (Small, Medium, and Large as shown on the back of the card) and shuffle each deck separately. Place the decks face down on the marked spaces.

5 Lay the Department Store orders below the Bookkeeping board, in the corresponding positions along the bottom edge. If this is your first game, turn each to its A side. In later games, select any combination of A and B sides, or choose them at random.

6 Sort the Employee cards into five decks (The Palace Boutique, Fresh Fancies, Salter's Emporium, House of Luxury, and Dunstan & Gilbert's) and shuffle each deck separately. Place the decks face down above the Bookkeeping board. Each deck corresponds to one of the Department Stores below the board.

Factory Boards

Each player takes 1 Factory board, 7 Conveyor tiles, 1 Store Room & Coal Bunker card, 1 Reference card, and 9 Player markers of their chosen color.

Place your Factory board in front of you, with the pre-printed Factory Parts in the top left. Lay 4 Conveyor tiles into the channel of your Factory, and put the other 3 Conveyor tiles beside your Factory, on the left.

Place your Store Room & Coal Bunker card and Ref- erence card, beside your Factory on the right, ensur- ing it is not on the "Factory manager only" side.

Each player draws one Corner Shop Order card from each of the three decks (one Small, one Medium, and one Large order). Lay your three Corner Shop Order cards face up above your Factory.

Place your Player markers as follows:

• Place one beside each of your Corner Shop Order card.
• One beside each Department Store Order card.
• Place one on the Bookkeeping board, on the '0' space of the money track.

Supply

Make a common supply beside the play area containing all the chocolate and coal, and one spare Conveyor tile. Put any unused Factory boards, Conveyor tiles, and Player markers back in the box.

Each small Coal token is worth 1 coal, and each larger token is worth 3 coal. The supply of chocolates and coal is not intended to be limited . In the rare case that you run out, substitute with any suitable replacement.

Start Player

Give the Start Player marker to the player who most recently ate chocolate.

About Your Factory

Chocolate Conveyor Tiles

The Conveyor tiles carry Chocolate pieces through your Factory, and the Factory Parts allow you to work on those products.

The raw input for your factory are Beans (black). These can be first roasted to make Cocoa (brown squares), then formed into chocolate Bars moulded into Chunks or Fingers (brown bars), and then made into Wrapped chocolates with either added Caramel (yellow) or Nuts (red), before finally becoming premium Boxed chocolates (blue).

All of these pieces, including Beans and Cocoa, are called 'Chocolate pieces' or just 'chocolates'. Bars, Wrapped, and Boxed chocolates are called 'refined chocolates'.

Factory Parts

Each Factory Part will allow you to process the Chocolate pieces on the Conveyor tile immediately above or below it. You will need to use coal every time you operate a Factory Part.

The furnace icon on the Factory Part tells you how much coal it takes to operate it once.

Employees

Each day you will choose one Employee to hire to help with that day's production. Each Employee gives you a special gift, benefit, or action, and tells you which of the five Department Store Order cards you have the opportunity to fulfill at the end of the day.

You will discard the Employee at the end of the day, and choose a new one on the following day.

Fulfilling Orders

At the end of each day you can use the chocolate pieces in your store room to fulfill your own personal Corner Shop order cards, and one of the competitive Department Store Order cards.

If this is your first game, refer to the 'fulfill orders' and 'End of the game' sections to make sure you understand how fulfilling Corner Shop and Department Store Order cards will earn money.
