Mage Food Truck

Fun card turn game with lots of twists and turns, some laughs and lots of shout-outs to pop culture, especially The Lord of the Rings, Monty Python and stuff like that. I have long enjoyed their old "Space Food Truck" game but it never worked well as a multiplayer because it was too hard to line up three others to play, and while it works as a solo game, it's hard to manage four hands. This game is meant as a solo game with some of the same mechanics and others thrown in. In this game you visit various sites to get ingredients to cook or deliver recipes. Your crew includes a driver, cook, a mage who protects the ship and a bard who motivates everyone. Along the way you run into people who try to help or hurt you, you find ingredients, cook them, repair the food truck and shop for cards that level up your abilities or add to your ingredients. You score based on how many meals you cook and deliver and other factors that earn you money. Some funny bits include an evil wizard who's mad at you for not giving a gluten-free option and some vermin that infest your food truck. I don't want to spoil it but if you like the Lord of the Rings you will be laughing at a lot of this. There are options to play a quick or more lengthy complex game, so depending on your time commitment it works nicely.

An absolutely worthy legacy sequel to Space Food Truck. I'm one of those masochist who played SFT by himself, so creating a streamlined food truck card for one player was much appreciated. I especially appreciated when the gems were added to this one; it was exciting to see how the whole game transformed with a new challenge. A great mix of humor and gameplay. I will admit I miss the flavor text from SFT where some of the charm gets lost in this, for example I would love more recipes and the characters interacting/commenting. The creator understands the assignment of making fun of high fantasy (and science fiction in SFT), so I want more! I would also love a "forever mode" where you just last as long as possible and it gets harder and harder until you fall apart (just like SFT!). Regardless, I am so happy with this game. Keep up the amazing work!!!!!!

The lack of multiplayer will not keep me attached as long as Space Food Truck, but after around 10 hours I had all the achievements and now I have 36 hours and still enjoying it. Support Delectabus and enjoy Feastivus!

This game is a blast, and I'd recommend it to anyone who is enjoys strategic thinking and cozy fun. The animations are cute and light, the systems are crisp, and the deck-building elements add a lot of customization to the way that the player progresses through each run. It's definitely easy to play and learn, and rewarding to master. It has infinite replayability, and I'm really looking forward to each upcoming new installment. This game was made by a great developer, who is responsive and involved, and the cost of the game is nothing compared to the hours upon hours of entertainment and joy that you'll get out of it. It's so worth the price!

Fun game play with a very easy loop to get lost into. The humor is giving dad-joke levels and I'm here for it. Its a fun deckbuilding game that gets progressively harder trying to build the different meals. You'll want to keep going to see what other meals you can make. The mechanics and strategy on how you'll build the meals change with your different companions when you need to use their special abilities. You're on a mission to gather ingredients around the map by visiting different locations. You'll run into bandits, environmental issues, or bosses. Build your deck to get points to 'pay' for your abilities and cook your meals. I've played Space Food Truck from the same studio and had fun with that game. Based on the fun I had there, I was eager to try this new game. Its quick and easy to game to get into and leaves you satisfied.

I had a LOT of fun! The gameplay loop is very addictive and the dialogue was pretty funny. The cards seem well balanced and i felt I always had a chance even the RNG elements, to help skew things in my favor. It does feel a bit content light but certainly not bad especially for the price. I look forward to any future content updates.

This is a wonderful little deck builder. Fun and fantastic art.

Fun spin on the deckbuilder genre. It is more streamlined than the previous entry "Space Food Truck", with his now shared hand for all crewmate. The tutorial is also charming and funny. Got to go to sleep now, it did take me longer to put it down than expected.

Ever wondered what owning a food truck is like? Now add curses and spells & lots of chaotic fun to the mix. Mage Food truck brings rogue like, survival and even deck building wonders to the table. Starting, I didn’t really know what I was getting into but the more I played the more I began to understand how the mechanics work and the more fun I had. Starting off, I absolutely was unprepared for how much I actually enjoy it & I cannot wait to play more. I started with the 24 turn option as I feel like it was the best option to have time to understand mechanics without getting overwhelmed. Everything played super smooth and eased into each turn made. The design is super cute be it the board design, card designs, the main villain Gourmandorf (I absolutely love it!). It was definitely absolutely engaging and appealing to the eye. Card designs were great, I love the different colours for different cards. I love the way cards are portrayed & the way the store system for them is operated as well. Sound wise, I found it appealing. It’s one of those games that you don’t have to turn the soundtrack off & turn your own music on to enjoy. To basically summarize the game play each round consists of a morning, afternoon & night shift type situation. You use the cards you have in your deck to traverse the board, collect ingredients to prepare for customers and fend of the curses and spells put upon you. The end of the game is either the end of night-shift or your food truck being destroyed by curses & customers will rate you on how many orders were delivered and how much gold you made through out the day. Mage Food Truck offers a variety of ways to play, ways to win and to lose. I myself cannot wait to play again and explore the many different ways to win or lose. It’s engaging and well thought out. It’s definitely a game to replay in many different ways as each game brings you different ingredients, recipes, orders, etc A lot of the good things about the game I enjoyed are definitely the way it is played out, the music, story, etc. Even losing was fun in my opinion. I genuinely found myself wondering what would happen next or how things would turn each turn I made. One thing I did find super frustrating was the curses put on you can do a lot of damage & with very little shields and health to start with it can end very quickly if you do not play your cards right. Other than that, everything else seemed super appealing & smooth. Mage Food Truck offers many ways to play, many ways to enjoy it and so much more. With its unique design I’d definitely say that it brings a lot of intriguing moments into play. Whether you are a fan of rogue like, survival or deck building it definitely brings fun to the table. Since this was an unreleased review copy I want to give it a rating of 8/10 due to just how smooth and fun it was. I definitely cannot wait to see where the game goes in the future with levels & design.
