Ookiee Cookie

Welcome to Meepletown! While the town sleeps, the ovens are glowing with the sweet scent of fresh dough and warm glaze. Tomorrow is the biggest Cookie Festival Meepletown has ever seen, and you must prepare your small shop for the big day! In Ookiee Cookie, you and your Apprentice must build upgrades, trade in the Cookie Market, and arrange your cookies in the most appealing way. To get cookies, you will reach into the Master Bakery — a cloth bag used for random draws. But be careful: managing a cookie shop isn't easy, and your Apprentice might be a bit clumsy! How It Plays Ookiee Cookie features a quick and simple turn structure: Draw one card, Play one card. You draw from the Festival Deck and must choose one of three ways to play your card: a. Resolve an Action: Perform immediate effects like trading, grabbing cookies from the bakery, or swapping cookie positions. b. Build an Upgrade: Pay a cost in cookies to gain permanent abilities and Victory Points (VP). c. Set a Stabilizer: Place the card in a dedicated slot to help your Apprentice hold more cookies. The Cookie Market & Supervisors A Cookie Market facilitates cookie trading. Using the "Go to Market" action, players follow a Pick-Slide-Replace mechanic: take a cookie from the bottom row, slide the column down, and replace the top slot with a cookie from their own shop. Throughout the game, Supervisor Cookies are drawn from the bag, triggering Event cards and permanently taking up market slots, steadily reducing available options. The Apprentice Tray Players can have their Apprentice hold cookies in their tray for more Victory Points, but this comes with a Push-Your-Luck element. Every time cookies are added or swapped on the tray, you must roll the Apprentice Die. Rolling a number sets a temporary capacity limit; any cookies exceeding this limit fall into the Pile of Crumbs, resulting in negative points. Game End & Winning The festival concludes immediately when the fifth Supervisor is drawn or the Festival Deck is depleted. The player with the most Victory Points wins. Points are awarded for: a. Cookies in the Apprentice tray. b. Set Collection on shop displays. c. Upgrades on your shop. d. Festival Goals. e. Finally, you lose points for every cookie in your Crumb pile!. So, get ready and remember: even the greatest plans may turn to crumbs! —description from the designer
