What to Expect
You run a café during the lunch rush, stacking ingredient cards to build sandwiches and fulfill customer contracts before you run out of actions. Crumbs! is a 1–2 player microgame with variable setup and quick play (about 10–20 minutes). Optional 'Quirky Customers' rules add extra challenge. You must use a small set of action points efficiently, as serving resets your actions.
Who Is This Game For?
Suitable for players aged 10+, Crumbs! targets fans of short, tactical card and puzzle games. The solo/coop option and brief playtime make it a good quick filler or travel game. New players will find the tight action economy challenging; experienced players will appreciate the fast decisions.
How It Works
Each round you have limited Action Points to spend stacking ingredients and completing Contracts through Pattern Building. Completing a sandwich refreshes your actions, while running out causes customers to leave. Variable set-up changes each play, and the game supports Solo/Solitaire and Cooperative modes. Core mechanics: Action Points, Contracts, Pattern Building, Variable Set-up.
What Makes It Special
Designed by J. Antscherl, Crumbs! packages a pressure-driven card puzzle into a microgame format with quick rounds (10–20 minutes). The blend of Action Points and Pattern Building gives a compact, tactical feel focused on efficient moves and order management.
