About this board game
Space Cantina is a dice allocation and resource management game for 1–4 players, with sessions lasting about 90 minutes. Each player manages a restaurant in the largest shopping complex known to the universe, competing to earn money and build a strong reputation.
The Intergalactic Federation’s new space station attracts creatures of many kinds. Aliens, cyborgs, robots, and other customers pass through the complex, giving you plenty of opportunities to prepare food, drinks, and desserts. Serve them well and your restaurant can become one of the most profitable businesses in the Universe.
Success depends on making smart use of your available resources and staff. In Space Cantina, you can hire assistants and promote them as you develop your business, while managing the demands of a constantly changing crowd. Customers may even include food critics, making outstanding service especially valuable.
- Allocate dice to manage your restaurant’s actions.

Every customer can contribute to your success, but timing matters. If you delay too much when attending to your clients, you might lose, so careful resource management and efficient service are essential. Balance preparation, staffing, and customer satisfaction as you struggle against fierce competition in this busy intergalactic shopping destination.
