Jason's Board Game Diagnostics of Cryptid Cafe

Watch “Jason's Board Game Diagnostics of Cryptid Cafe,” a board game review for Cryptid Cafe from The Boardgame Mechanics on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by The Boardgame Mechanics on YouTube:

#JasonReviews #BoardgameMechanics #CryptidCafe 0:00 - Intro 0:10 - Title Screen 0:28 - Description of the Game 1:43 - Gameplay Overview *see comments below* 13:39 - Final Thoughts 18:29 - Credits Publisher comments regarding play example: *Players cannot visit the same location twice in a round *You do not have to be in the one spot to move up you just have to be behind someone in order to move up. *Bonus points for served customers are for the SAME set of icons not three different. *If an event is revealed a new customer should be drawn to fill in the green spaces on the board You are a lead server at the Cryptid Cafe, a Sasquatch-owned restaurant packed with legendary creatures from all over the world. Gather food. Fill orders. Earn the most tips and be crowned, dare we say, the most "legendary" server. Strategically dispatch your team of Sasquatch servers to the different food stations, gathering the much-needed items to complete your customers' orders. As you serve the customers they will give you tips based on their satisfaction level. However, with each passing round, the Cryptids get more and more frustrated waiting for their food and will leave smaller tips. Eventually, they’ll leave the restaurant if they are not served fast enough. If that happens, plan on giving the owner some of your tips at the end of the night, he doesn't like to lose customers. Sounds simple, right? Not so fast, because you’re not the only lead server working tonight. You'll be competing with other players who are trying to serve their customers as well. Spaces are limited. Food stations are breaking. The orders are piling up. Customers are getting angry! It may be wise to share some of your tips with the chef, so you get the food you need first. If all goes well, at the end of the night you'll be the player crowned the most legendary server. —description from the publisher For more information about Cryptid Cafe: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/326358/cryptid-cafe To check out a little bit of everything that we do visit our website at: https://www.bgmechanics.com Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theboardgamechanics Follow us on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boardgamemechanics Tweet at us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bgmechs If you would be interested in having us review/preview a game, or just want to chat, shoot us an email at: contact@bgmechanics.com

About Cryptid Cafe, from BoardGameGeek:

You are a lead server at the Cryptid Cafe, a Sasquatch-owned restaurant packed with legendary creatures from all over the world. Gather food. Fill orders. Earn the most tips and be crowned, dare we say, the most "legendary" server. Strategically dispatch your team of Sasquatch servers to the different food stations, gathering the much-needed items to complete your customers' orders. As you serve the customers they will give you tips based on their satisfaction level. However, with each passing round, the Cryptids get more and more frustrated waiting for their food and will leave smaller tips. Eventually, they'll leave the restaurant if they are not served fast enough. If that happens, plan on giving the owner some of your tips at the end of the night, he doesn't like to lose customers. Sounds simple, right? Not so fast, because you're not the only lead server working tonight. You'll be competing with other players who are trying to serve their customers as well. Spaces are limited. Food stations are breaking. The orders are piling up. Customers are getting angry! It may be wise to share some of your tips with the chef, so you get the food you need first. If all goes well, at the end of the night you'll be the player crowned the most legendary server. -description from the publisher
