Carla Caramel (2022)

About this game

It’s a sweltering day on the fairgrounds! It’s so hot that kids are lined up at Carla Caramel’s ice cream stand. You showed up just in time to help Carla with the line! Together, help her quickly serve delicious ice cream cones to all the kids. It’d be a shame if they melt before the kids enjoy them! By taking turns, each players will help the ice cream vendor satisfy the kids lining up in front of her Stand by rolling a die, which will either let you add a flavor to an ice cream or move the sun one space, or roll a kid, and give an ice cream to one of the children. Once everyone gets an ice cream, you win! But be careful to the sun, which can melt the ice creams. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
