Pies

Pies is a fast‑paced, tasty card game that puts you in the shoes of a baker trying to craft the most delicious pies. Over three rounds, each consisting of six tricks (five in a five‑player game), you play a fruit card. The player who plays the highest‑value card wins the trick and then drafts one card from that trick into their ingredient display. The remaining players do the same in descending order, and the last player also receives an extra Plum card. Special action cards can pop up: some let you steal fruit from opponents, while others call a dog to guard your stash. After three rounds you combine the gathered ingredients into pie mixes; the player with the highest total value wins the title of master baker. The game takes about 20 minutes, supports 3–5 players, and has a low complexity (weight 1.7/5), making it perfect for a quick, fun session with light strategic choices. Open drafting and trick‑taking keep the flow steady, and the food theme with bright artwork adds a playful, appetizing vibe. If you enjoy swift card games with combo building, Pies is a sweet addition to your table.
