Food Truck is a board game released in 2023 for 2–5 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Florian Fay and its main mechanics are Set Collection.
You will play a series of rounds until one player has 3 Victory points. This player wins the game and is crowned owner of the Best Food Truck. Each round is made up of 3 phases: - PREP: Players sort their Meal cards into the order they wish to play them. The card on top of your draw pile will be the first one you play, and the first Meal you serve at your food truck! - SERVICE: If another player has already served this Meal, the player cannot play their Meal card, and is eliminated from the round. As compensation, that player chooses one Meal card from the general supply to add to their deck. The first player to be eliminated each round also takes the first-player marker. - END OF SERVICE: Continue until one player remains, with the others having been eliminated. That player wins the round. They gain a victory point and take the last Meal card from the general supply. At the end of service, if a player has 3 victory points (or 2, for 5 players), they win the game. —description from the publisher
Food Truck supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Food Truck is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Food Truck for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Food Truck has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
