About the game

What you do in a play session

Picture that lazy morning, your stomach rumbling, and a delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen. That's exactly the vibe of *Waffle Time*, a game where you'll assemble the waffle of your dreams! Your goal is to create the most delicious and highest-scoring waffle by carefully selecting fruit toppings and whipped cream. But it's not just about piling things on randomly, mind you! The big twist is that what you choose not only determines your score but also influences turn order and how much syrup you can spread across your waffle. Each round, you'll add new elements and form strategic patterns to maximize your points. It's a quick and addictive game, perfect for those who enjoy an abstract challenge with a super charming theme. After eight swift rounds, the competition is to see who has built the most appetizing and, of course, highest-scoring waffle! Get ready for a strategic and fun breakfast, where every decision counts to create your culinary masterpiece.
