Fromage
In Fromage you are a French cheesemaker in the early 20th century making, aging, and selling your artisanal cheeses. Become the most prestigious cheesemaker in all of France by running a highly successful creamery and crafting exceptional cheese.
Gameplay
In this simultaneous worker-placement game, players place Workers to make cheese and gather resources from the quadrant of the board facing them. Once all players have placed their Workers, the board rotates, aging any cheese that was made, and presenting each player with a new quadrant to place Workers into. Score Prestige Points by selling cheese to the four locations, and by efficiently managing and upgrading your creamery.
The game is a smart mix of interconnected mini games that you all play simultaneously. Fromage forces you to use one worker for resource collection and another for the individual cheese-making puzzle before you.
Summarised
This is an excellent entry in the worker placement genre. Players race to make cheese across four competing quadrants. Placement spots are divided between resources and score payouts. The more valuable spots cost more time before they return. The simultaneous play makes the game dynamic and further highlights the evaporating opportunities as the game progresses. Fromage is a tight experience that still allows for clever combos and tactical play.
