Food Truck Race is a board game released in 2026 for 2–4 players, 40–75 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Gregory Alford and its main mechanics are Race, Dice Rolling, and Move Through Deck.
Step into the non-slip shoes of a food truck chef and race to success in this 2-4 player, 60-minute game for ages 13 and up! Beat the competition to be the first with $50 in your cash till, feeding hungry customers along four busy streets. In every turn of the game, earn money when you plate orders for hungry customers. During your turn, spend money on groceries, parking fines, and upgrades as you refine your workflow and build out your truck. After each round, the hungriest customer in line will leave if not fed. Once the race starts, chefs are “always on” so wash your hands and learn your menu, it’s time to race!
Food Truck Race supports 2–4 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 Race is 40–75 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 Race for ages 10 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 Race has a complexity rating of 1.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a 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.
