Candy Lab

About this board game

Candy Lab is a fast-paced game for 2–4 players that takes about 15 minutes, placing you in the role of a confectioner working at full capacity in a busy candy factory.

Your task is to box the factory’s prized candies while retrieving candy bars to fulfill your orders. Each order presents a combination to collect, making every play part of the race to become the coveted master confectioner.

Play order cards to retrieve candy bar combinations, then activate their effects to improve your position. These effects can help you pursue your own plans or disrupt your opponents, so the contest is about more than simply collecting candies. Rival confectioners will do whatever they can to claim the supreme title—and you will need to do the same.

• Play order cards to retrieve candy bar combinations.
• Activate card effects to help yourself and disrupt opponents.
• Race to score the most points before the game ends.

The game ends when the last candy bar is retrieved or when the draw pile of order cards is depleted. Once the factory’s rush is over, players compare their points. The player with the most points wins and earns the title of master confectioner.

Released in 2020, Candy Lab delivers a compact competition filled with candy collection, order fulfillment, tactical effects, and direct disruption. Its short play time makes it well suited to a quick challenge among friends or a lively contest between rival confectioners.
