Get ready to embark on a culinary journey like no other in Culinarium, a unique card management cooking game developed and published by bengugus. Imagine a delightful blend of Stacklands and Overcooked, where strategic card stacking is the key to creating delicious dishes.
Players will open booster packs to acquire cards representing ingredients and employees, then strategically stack them onto various kitchen tools to prepare meals. The money earned from selling these dishes can be reinvested into more booster packs, unlocking new ingredients, essential kitchen tools, and exciting recipes.
But the kitchen isn't always calm! Culinarium throws unexpected challenges your way with random events.
You might have to fend off a pesky rat attempting to pilfer your ingredients, tackle a sudden kitchen fire, or impress a discerning food critic. These events add a layer of unpredictability and excitement to the core gameplay loop.
The game offers two distinct modes to satisfy different playstyles. The Adventure mode challenges you to rise through the ranks, cooking your way across four diverse acts – Italy, the US, Japan, and France – with the ultimate goal of becoming the world's best chef.
For those who prefer a more relaxed experience, the Free mode allows you to experiment and cook to your heart's content without the pressure of progression.
Culinarium promises a fresh take on the cooking simulation genre, combining strategic card play with the fast-paced demands of a bustling kitchen. It's a game that rewards planning, quick thinking, and a dash of luck.
