Just Desserts

Get ready to serve up some sweet competition in Just Desserts, the delightful card game that puts your skills as a waiter to the ultimate test!

As hungry guests flood into the café, it’s your mission to ensure they get exactly what they crave while skillfully dodging their dislikes. Each player starts with a hand of three delicious dessert cards, showcasing indulgent tastes like chocolate, fruit, and pastries.

As the game unfolds, three guest cards are placed in the center, revealing what these sweet-toothed patrons desire and what they refuse to eat. On your turn, the excitement begins! You'll draw a dessert card and introduce a new guest card from the deck. Then, it’s time for one of three satisfying actions:

• Serve: Delight one or two guests by discarding the necessary dessert cards to meet their cravings, while avoiding their aversions. Impress them with their favorite treat and earn a bonus dessert card as a tip!
• Draw: After serving, replenish your hand by drawing one additional dessert card.
• Dump: Discard as many dessert cards as you like and replace them by drawing an equal number from the deck.

At the end of your turn, it’s time to tidy up the guest list! Discard guests so that only one of each 'suit' remains waiting for service. But remember, the guest who leaves (the one on top of the discard pile) can still be claimed by any waiter looking for a sweet deal!

Speed is crucial! Achieve victory by serving three guests of the same suit or five guests of different suits. But the fun doesn’t stop there! Just Desserts features exciting game variants including:

• Steal: Swindle guests from other waiters by tempting them with even more sweets!
• Force: Each waiter must give up one guest, adding a twist to your strategy.
• Surprise Party: Claim guests out of turn for a delightful advantage!

Gather your friends and family for a deliciously fun time with Just Desserts—where every turn is a chance to satisfy your guests and savor victory!
