Pasteles - You’ve come back home to reopen your family’s cozy corner pastry shop—but sweet dreams don’t run themselves. Juggle demanding customers, aging equipment, and tight finances while digging through a dusty old recipe book filled with pastries waiting to be mastered. Every recipe brings new challenges, so roll up your sleeves and start early. Experience the daily hustle, hard choices, and small victories that make running a family business so rewarding.

Gameplay Overview

Pasteles is a solo game where you’ll face 12 unique recipes, each one a puzzle to be mastered. Every game unfolds over a series of 4 to 7 rounds, with each round representing a full day at your pastry shop.

Each round is divided into three main phases:

Preparation
Start the day by organizing your bakery. Employees arrive—or leave—according to the schedule, ingredients are readied, and equipment is checked for potential breakdowns. You may also choose to invest in marketing to attract more customers, if you can afford it.

Open
The doors open and customers start pouring in based on your current Market Level. This is the heart of the game: bake the featured recipe and serve customers as efficiently as possible, following the unique rules of each recipe.

Closing
As the day winds down, you’ll evaluate how satisfied your customers were and adjust the Market accordingly. Pay your employees, make optional repairs to keep your equipment running, and prepare for the next day.

These phases repeat each round until the final day. When the last round ends, you’ll check the victory conditions to see if your pastry shop has truly become a success.

Conservas: Exotic Tides - After a successful first year building your Conservas business, it’s time to venture into uncharted waters. A new season awaits, and your customers are hungry for bold new flavors from the sea. But chasing new tides also brings fresh challenges—ones that will truly test your fishing skills.

This expansion opens up new opportunities with additional markets to explore, a wider variety of boats and upgrades, and new ways to experience the base game. It includes three modular additions:

• New Upgrade and Boat cards
• A new Market Book
• Locations

You may play with any combination of these modules—including all three—tailoring the experience to your preferred level of depth. The expansion also introduces new token types: Eels, Tuna, and Predators, adding variety and new strategic considerations to every game.
