About this board game

Pie Town is a worker-dice placement game for 2–4 players, with sessions lasting around 90 minutes. In this apple-and-butter community, players manage a changing workforce while building the best pie shop in town.

Business is no cake walk. To keep your operation moving, you must decide how to use your workers as you harvest ingredients, bake pies, and sell them. Your workforce is constantly changing, so effective management is central to your plans.

Pie Town also adds a layer of hidden information. Every player has a secret recipe, and discovering what other pie shops are trying to make is part of the challenge. Pay attention to the choices around you and work to deduce your opponents’ recipes while protecting your own.
