I'm a huge fan of hot cocoa. Not only does the coziness help calm me down, but I also get to drink it out of my favorite mugs!

A Cup of Cocoa is a collection of two games —one embracing cooperation and coziness, the other embracing chaos— that will have everyone making hot cocoa together. Each game includes optional variants (13 in total) to mix things up even more. You can see the full rules for Co-Op Cocoa in the images on the right, and Cocoa Chaos is very similar but far more focused on chaotic ingredients and drinks (the image to the right there for Cocoa Chaos is the list of variations for the game).

Here's to a cozy, comfy season for everyone 🧡

Printing Formats

The game includes two PDFs: one that's made for reading digitally and one that's made to print. The printable PDF includes the following printable formats:

• Foldable cards: cut around the borders, then cut in half horizontally and fold the front behind the back. Boom, two cards! You can also simply cut all four cards out and have them separately too.
• Double-sided: the front and back of each lined up to be printed on both sides of the same paper. This format also includes postcard prints you can mail if you use thicker paper, great for thanking visitors for playing with you :D

Each of the above formats includes versions with or without cutting lines, and then ALL of those formats are duplicated in black-and-white pages as well.

Inspired by Bellamy and Cedille from our Discord Server

Bellamy, Cedille, and I were chatting on our Discord server the other day about hot cocoa games. A few days after the chat, I came up with the idea for this game, and Angel and I chatted about it during a walk. We came up with almost all of it on that walk, including the two forms of the game and the idea of adding optional variants.

So I just wanted to give a huge thanks to Bellamy and Cedille for inspiring this game :D
