About the game
Players are the staff of a little snack-bar at lunch time. They have to serve the orders as quick as possible. Each round, two different cashiers take the orders. Other players are the cooks and must fill the orders with burgers, hot dogs and, of course, "poutines" ("Poutine" is a very popular meal in Quebec. It is made of French fries, brown sauce (gravy), and cheese curds). Each round, the slowest cashier and the slowest cook receive one "Mop point". When a player receive his or her third, he or she loses the game and must pass the mop when closing the restaurant. Miss Poutine is in the tradition of games like Pit and Ligretto Football.

Questions and answers
Miss Poutine supports 4–8 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 Miss Poutine is 15 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 Miss Poutine 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.
Miss Poutine has a complexity rating of 1.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
