A First Look at Bake or Break from Japan!

About Bake or Break — from BoardGameGeek:

Welcome to Cafe Storybook! A cafe where a team of clumsy staff work together at the various stations of the cafe to prepare the ingredients, decorate the cakes, and fulfill the orders. At the start of each round discuss your strategy together but cannot elude to the cards you're playing. Then simultaneous reveal your chosen action cards but as with any kitchen you need to work together and do the tasks in order. Take → Prepare → Decorate → Serve. Take ingredients to the Kitchen, Prepare the cake and move it to the Decorating station, combine the ingredients and Decorate the cake, then finally Serve the order. Each area holds only a certain amount of ingredients, any excess will get discarded. Even with all your planning at the beginning of each round, things may go awry if you skip a step or everyone tries to do the same step. Each action moves the ingredients and cake further along in the preparation process. But watch out if you can't work together as a team you might end up serving some unfinished cakes which will them be discarded. At the start of Round 4, new events will appear every even round. So you will have some time in the early stages to test the waters with your co-staff before the rush hour begins. The game will end after 15 rounds. Complete as many successful orders as you can as a team!
