Description
The best master bakers in the country and their assistants have come together to determine the winner of a world-renowned cookie-baking competition. Who will convince the panel of experts and win over the spectators with their confectionery creations in order to be proclaimed "Cookie Champion"?
Cookie Champion is a medium-weight strategy game of clever card management and area control in which you choose your recipes, gather your ingredients and goods, decide whether to provide decorations, then sell your cookies for much needed cash — or deliver them to the presentation tables for the judges to score. You can also hire staff to help you out or fire them for extra money. Present the best cookies, impress the judges, and bake your way into becoming the champion.
The game accommodates up to five players, while including a challenging solo mode.
