About the game
In Postres, players take the role of pastry chefs racing to deliver their desserts to various sales points across the city before their competitors. On a turn, a player may play as many cards as they wish, placing desserts at up to two sales points, and then draw cards to refill their hand. Action cards bring tension and surprises: shutting down a sales point for maintenance, conducting health inspections that force opponents to discard desserts, or recovering lost desserts from the discard pile. Sales points are more than delivery spots — each comes with special abilities that can protect against enemy actions or make completing deliveries easier. The game ends once most sales points are filled, and the player with the highest prestige score is declared the city’s top pastry chef. With straightforward rules, strong player interaction, and plenty of tactical choices, the game blends strategy, timing, and a dash of mischief in every play. —description from the publisher (translated) En este juego, los jugadores encarnan a reposteros que deben distribuir sus postres en distintos puntos de venta de la ciudad antes que sus competidores. Cada turno, un jugador puede jugar tantas cartas como desee, repartiendo postres en hasta dos puntos de venta, y luego repondrá su mano robando nuevas cartas. Las cartas de acción añaden tensión y sorpresa: desde inhabilitar un punto de venta por mantenimiento, hasta realizar inspecciones sanitarias que obligan a descartar postres de los rivales, o recuperar postres perdidos del descarte. Los puntos de venta no solo son espacios para colocar postres, también ofrecen habilidades especiales que permiten protegerse de ataques enemigos o facilitar la entrega de productos. La partida finaliza cuando la mayoría de los puntos de venta se han llenado, y el jugador con más puntos de prestigio será proclamado el mejor repostero de la ciudad. Con reglas sencillas pero gran interacción entre jugadores, el juego combina estrategia, timing y un toque de picardía en cada partida. —description from the publisher
