A downloadable game for Windows

Dr. Hogel Mizoche, owner and current mascot of the famed barbecue fast-food chain “The Smoke Box,” is finally expanding his franchise into the food truck market. He enlisted the help of a few of his old friends to lead a team of carefully selected employees to establish The Hot Box food truck as the hot spot to be. However, each team leader has their own idea of how the truck should be run…

In this cooperative game for 1 to 4 players, you play as a team of employees running a new Smoke Box sponsored food truck called The Hot Box. Prep for service by quickly playing cards onto different stations to build up resources before time runs out. Use those resources to fulfill customer orders, and then spend some of that profit on upgrades. But watch out! Your Boss has strict rules for the team to follow; if you let them down, you're all fired!

This is a submission to the Robot Party Game Jam 2024.
Character(s): The Pitmaster, Taxxie, Jambon, Glerry Hoggins

While this has been designed as a board game, there are a few ways to play digitally. MeBID created the digital version that automates a lot of the rules and features some really fun voice acting! The pcio version can be used to easily play with friends online. And you can print out the printable version to play with friends in real life!
