About the game
What you do in a play session
If you've already savored the culinary competitions of Sweet Mess and felt something was missing, get ready for a cool twist! The Ice Cream module introduces a new deck of 15 recipe cards, each with its own quirks and challenges, adding an extra layer of flavor to the contest. These new recipes function similarly to the originals: you can prepare them, reserve them for later, or race to complete them, aiming for confectionary glory. The open drafting mechanic remains at the heart of the competition, but now with the option to grab these coveted ice cream recipes directly from the table. When preparing or reserving a recipe, keep an eye on the face-up ice cream card; it could be your next big move! Remember to replenish the ice cream display at the end of your turn, ensuring variety is always at hand for all competitors. If the ice cream deck runs out, simply continue the game without it. This expansion is perfect for those who want more variety and a different taste in their Sweet Mess games, keeping the race tight and the contracts challenging. It's an addition that refreshes the experience without overcomplicating the rules, ideal for those looking to expand the base game's universe with a delicious theme and familiar mechanics.
