Z-Man Games has announced two new games for release in the second quarter of 2015: Cacao and Sylvion.

Cacao is a tile placement game designed by Phil Walker-Harding (Sushi Go!). Players take the role of tribal chiefs, who must cultivate and trade cacao.  Players use their worker tiles carefully to maximize cacao yield from the fields and move the “fruit of the gods” to market.

The box contains 44 worker tiles, 4 wooden water carriers, 4 village maps, 28 jungle tiles, 20 wooden fruits, 12 sunstones, 48 gold coins, rules and player aids.  The game is for 2- 4 players, ages 8 and up, and plays in 45 minutes.  MSRP was not announced.

Sylvion is a new solo card game which is part of the "Oniverse" that includes Onirim (see "'Pandemic Survival''").  In this game, players must build a Defender deck to keep the Ravage and his fire elementals from burning down the grand forest.

The box contains 188 cards, a ravage pawn, and a rulebook.  The game is for 1-2 players, ages 10 and up, and plays in 30 minutes.  MSRP is $24.99.
