Cardboard Confectioner (led by Zach) Zach’s own design, this is a ‘deck-thinning’ deckbuilder where players start with 30 ingredient cards in their deck (pantry). Each turn, players play ingredients attempting to complete one of the pre-selected recipes. Each recipe is a certain number of victory points with a unique benefit that aids in helping players work towards the more daunting recipes. Once a player achieves 25 victory points, each remaining player in the turn order gets a chance to play out their last turn. The player with the most victory points wins. If you’re interested in playing, playtesting or learning more, let Zach know, he’d love to talk about it.
