Everyone is a disgruntled employee of the world’s most famous chocolate maker, and even as you toil in his factory, you are plotting your escape. You will take your secret family recipe and start a glorious new factory, as soon as you collect enough chocolate, sugar, nuts, and love.

Enemy Chocolatier was the last of the original “envelope” game series, printed in 2005. Shortly afterwards, Cheapass Games went into a publishing hiatus, while James Ernest sailed the deep waters of the computer game industry. By 2005, color printing had become nearly as cheap as black and white, and as the world changed around us, we began to realize that we needed to change with it.

The game is a quick-playing Euro-style abstract with candylike components. Players take turns buying houses in the neighborhoods around the chocolate factory, earning points and money and also trying to complete their secret recipes. For a game that takes just over 30 minutes, Enemy Chocolatier packs in a pretty decent beginning, middle, and endgame. And the modular board makes it nicely replayable.
