So the diagram is wrong vs what the instructions say as it says Clubs beat spades but the diagram it show spades beat clubs. Also in the printer friendly version the red and black snafu tables are swapped. Fun concepts but needs a bit more proofreading to refine the rules.
The card draws for outcomes are separate to the ones for the Situations. So the Heart for a Snaffu is only used in the reference table and a second card is flipped to decide the outcome.
My group are probably going to be playing this soon! One thing I don't understand, in the rock-paper-scissors system of wagering and drawing cards, what happens if the player's wager matches the card drawn? e.g. my character wagers a Knife and draws a Diamond? Do we just draw again?
Draws are a failure. They work the same as if they drew a Knife and then Drew a Spade. Thanks for the question! We hope you have loads of fun with the game!
I'm reading through this game, and it looks delightful. I look forward to playing it with my D&D group.
However, I don't see any instructions for ending the game, or for how long a shift should last. Just until each person in the party has gotten to go first?
From your own playtesting, how many rounds until the cafe and the players are low/out of cutlery, and are having to make some difficult decisions?
Otherwise, very fun ideas here, and I love the way it's formatted like a restaurant menu.
It's very dependant on how many Players you have and how long you want to play to be honest. For a sort of average group of 4-5 players and around 40-60 minutes 5 rounds seems to be the amount we've found in playtests!
I'm curious if this would be playable if one of the players is on Zoom? One of our DnD group had to move away, and we manage with her on zoom, plus a tablet on a cell phone stand so she can see whatever battle map we use). Thanks!
Hi yes, absolutely It should work! You will likely have to draw cards for her and discard any cutlery from the communal pool for her but other than that there sholdn't be any issues!

Thank you for pointing out these mistakes. We will look at editing the files and updating them to correct these as soon as we are able.
what happens if the Heart is the snafu? is it automatically a success? seems ok for a delivery order but not a fire.

Upon closer look, it looks like it should work fine, curious your opinion though!

Lovely game, CobblePath Games team.
