Once you’ve made a bribe, your mischievous opponents can try to stop you. They can play sabotage cards from their hand to ruin cakes in your bribe. 

If your bribe no longer has enough cakes, you fail to win control over the region.

Sabotage cards be anything from a blaster shooting your red dwarf cake, to space teddies robbing your tiramisu. But the dreaded Cake Monster is the one to watch out for, it will gobble up your cakes! 

At the end of each turn you draw more cards to fuel your next attack. The question is - how many will you draw from the cake deck, and how many will you draw from the mischief deck of actions and sabotages?

As the game progresses, you get to draw more and more cards, escalating the Cake of Doom mayhem.

Amar loves a great party game, if you invite him round he will almost definitely bring along Scrawl, Articulate and Codenames! Amar loves to bake but hasn’t quite mastered the art of cake decoration, he is the genuine inspiration behind a number of our accidental sabotage cards. When he isn’t making games, Amar is a Project Manager, successfully delivering large-scale technology programmes. He has extensive experience working with teams and clients all over the world.

Rob creates the visuals which bring our ideas to life. Daydreamer, doodler and card carrying luddite, he revels in the tactile experience of tabletop games and the fact they can’t randomly crash mid-game. He has recently brought to market Pugs in Mugs and Earth Rising.

A huge, heartfelt thanks to all the people who have helped us out in any way. In no particular order they are: Judy, Sechi, and of course, all of our wonderful play testers - both online and in person.

Our game is of the highest quality, created to last for many years and can easily be resold and reused by later owners! Our manufacturer uses only FSC certified paper and board which means the materials used to make the cards, rulebook and box have been responsibly harvested and produced.
