Board game review: Dulce a confectionary empire building board game from Stronghold Games.

Description provided by Tabletop Bellhop on YouTube:

We are always looking for board games with unique themes and Dulce has a pretty distinct one. Find out what we thought of this shared input style board game that has players competing to build the best confectionary empire. In Dulce, players compete to make the most popular confectionery empire by planting fields, building cafes, harvesting ingredients, and scoring points for completed confections.

You’ll need to plant your fields strategically with cacao, coffee, peanuts, and vanilla, and then use those beans efficiently to make the best confectionaries around! Using every resource is necessary to beat out your competition. Each player has their own deck with beans on one side of each card and a factory on the other, as well as their own field in which to plant. Every round, one player draws a card and the others search their deck for the same card, and then everyone chooses their action simultaneously: to either plant, harvest, or build a new factory. Planting gains you new cacao, coffee, peanut, and vanilla resources, and harvesting allows you to use those resources in your factories. Each confectionary made in your factories earns you one point, and at the end of 20 rounds, the player with the most points wins! ******************** Links: Head over to the Tabletop Bellhop blog where you'll find more tabletop gaming content, including game and game night advice, reviews, and more: https://tabletopbellhop.com Check out Moe's written review of Dulce on the Tabletop Bellhop Blog: https://tabletopbellhop.com/game-reviews/dulce/ Pick up your own copy of Dulce (affiliate links): US: https://amzn.to/3JlOURz Canada: https://amzn.to/3JKXE55 UK: https://amzn.to/3FuwugC ******************** Sign up for our newsletter: https://newsletter.tabletopbellhop.com Find us all over the web: Dice.camp: https://dice.camp/@TabletopBellhop/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tabletopbellhop/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/tabletopbellhop Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabletopbellhop/ Twitch: https://twitch.tv/tabletopbellhop Discord: https://discord.tabletopbellhop.com
