Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 5.33. This 2 - 4 player board game was published in 2018. It's the Kickstarter Edition of Creatures and Cupcakes by Grey Fox Games, including the core game. For ages, the Cupcake Kingdom citizens have lived in a sweet dessert utopia with fantastical creatures that love cupcakes. Monster trainers use special cupcakes to befriend and tame these beasts. Feed too many at once, and the creatures get a tummy ache! In this game, trainers compete to tame two magical creatures first to impress the Cupcake King and Queen. It's a press - your - luck game where players draw cupcakes from a bag. Each draw moves you on the affection track of the creatures. But draw two of the same in a row, and your turn ends. Even if you bust, you get a special power card or a medicine card. Creatures and Cupcakes is an easy - to - learn, super - fun board game with cute components that takes about 30 minutes. The first to get two different creatures (out of 4) to the finish line wins. Draw cupcakes one by one until you stop or draw two of the same color. If you draw two of the same, you bust, take a medicine token, and your turn is over. If you stop before that, move your creatures. Power cupcakes give you power cards to show your dominance.

How to play: First, gather 2 to 4 players. Start the game by having players take turns drawing cupcakes from the bag one at a time. You can stop drawing whenever you want. But be careful, if you draw two cupcakes of the same color in a row, your turn ends. When your turn ends because you busted, take a medicine token. If you stop before busting, move your creatures on the board's affection track. If you draw a power cupcake, take a power card and use it to outsmart your opponents. The goal is to be the first to get two different creatures to the finish line. Note: Don't feed too many cupcakes to the creatures at once in the game, or they'll get a tummy ache (in - game effect). Also, make sure to keep track of your power cards and medicine tokens. Maintenance: Keep the game components, like the cupcakes and cards, in a dry place. Avoid bending or damaging the cards. If the bag gets dirty, you can clean it gently. Have fun playing Creatures and Cupcakes!
