 DARK & DELICIOUS FUN - WITH ZERO CALORIES!Nov 25, 2007
By NeuroSplicer
This is a Business-SIM focusing on chocolate trade. Although sold under $10 as a casual game, I found this much more fun and enjoyable than more advertised and much more expensive games!
You start out as an apprentice and have to master ingredients, recipes, ordering and marketing. This is a well balanced game and you and your family will have great Fun!
I think it would be a good idea to download the 60min-trial version from Reflexive (you can Google it) and decide whether this is your cup of tea.
WARNING! This game may precipitate INTENSE Chocolate-cravings! :)
RECOMMENDED!

 Excellent game! Not what you might expect!Feb 04, 2008
By J. Weiss
Chocolatier is a business simulation game where you make and sell different kinds of chocolates. You go around the map to find ingredients at low prices, sell chocolates you have made at your factories, and to run errands for other businessman which leads to more chocolate recipes.
While I have played a lot of different business "tycoon" type games, Chocolatier is by far one of my favorites. Addictive, interesting, and at times funny, Chocolatier had my attention and I loved playing every minute of it. Great for rainy or snowy days when you don't have any plans to leave the house because trust me, once you start playing this game you will not want to stop!
If you are looking for similiar games to this one, Tradewinds and Tradewinds Legends are also very good. Also Chocolatier 2 is now available and is very good.

Can be played on a Mac!Feb 23, 2008
By Sleepless
I am always on the lookout for non-shooter games for my kids that are compatible with Apple OS and this one is for sure a keeper! I popped it into the laptop the first night after it arrived and played until 2am (how does time fly like that?)
I won't retell the story line or anything so dull.... You can read other reviews for that.
Give this game a try. It is fun for kids and adults alike. My 11 & 13 year olds both defeated the game before I did, but then they both played it again with different strategy trying to beat their scores. It also does not go on forever and ever in long boring quests. It is a quick game that has doable levels and rewards as it moves along and keeps the player's interest.
Plus a few of the characters have little tidbits of trivia about chocolate history, so it is *mildly* educational.
I think this is a game that can be put away and revisited later and still give good play value. The quests are just enough random that the game is not too overly predictable.
!! HOWEVER !! We did experience a mid-game crash under OS 10.4.11. I contacted the company via email and they responded quickly. This is a known bug in the CD copy. The cure for the crash is to download the online Mac version of the trial game over the already installed CD version..... that patched it up like a charm and it ran perfectly from that moment on.... the crash turned out to be a minor hiccup in game play.
The trial version/ game patch can be found free at PlayFirst(dot)com
Even though the trial version says it only runs for 60 minutes, the game has no such limit when patched over the CD version of the game.
Give this little gem of a game a try. I plan on buying more games from this company,
Decent Mac games are hard to find and are usually overpriced, so this is a great find....

Addictive!Dec 28, 2007
By Amanda Tinsley
"Serenity"
I was given this game for Christmas, and didn't have very high hopes for it. Within ten minutes I was completely absorbed. This is a very addicting game. You travel around the world to find chocolate recipes and make the chocolates in your factories. You also have to buy ingredients for your chocolates and not every port will have the ingredients you are looking for; you won't find cocoa in New York but will have to travel to Trinidad for instance to buy it. Lots of things to do and a lot of missions to accomplish to achieve Master Chocolatier! Very fun game.

Love This Game!!Jan 16, 2009
By D. Mills
I love this game. I've had 2 strokes and am physically disabled because of them. I have spent hours playing this game. It doesn't require a lot of keying which is difficult for me. A click of the mouse and I can complete each task. Not only am I physically able to play this game, I believe it has help my focus abilities too. I hope there isn't an end, but then I'd just have to start over in another name!!
