Where it came from
Schoko & Co. was released in 1987 by the German publisher Schmidt Spiele, emerging during a period when the board game market in Germany was experiencing a significant surge in complexity and thematic depth. The game places players in the role of chocolate factory owners, tasking them with managing raw materials, production logistics, and retail distribution to capture the most market share. It is frequently cited as a classic example of the 'economic simulation' genre that would eventually lead to the broader Eurogame movement.
The design of the game is attributed to Eberhard Paro, who sought to create an engaging, multi-layered experience that balanced strategic planning with the unpredictability of market fluctuations. By incorporating elements of supply chain management and competitive pricing, Paro aimed to demystify business mechanics for a general audience. The game was well-received upon its release for its educational utility and its ability to simulate the rigors of commerce, eventually earning a place in the shortlist for the prestigious Spiel des Jahres award in 1987.
