Running a restaurant by stacking cards
Everything here is a card, and stacking is how you run the place. You drag an ingredient like Egg, Dough, or Honey onto a utensil like the Oven or Stove to work through a dish step by step, then check the Recipes list when you forget what goes where.
Customers work the same way. You drop a Customer card onto a Table to see what they want, then place the finished dish on top of them before their patience runs out. It is ordering, cooking, and serving reduced to neat little piles, with quests paying out in new utensils and recipes as you keep the tables turning.
Stocking, trading, and automating the kitchen
Ingredients run out, so you keep the pantry full by placing coins on store cards like the Store or Fruit Stall. Clutter builds up too, and the Trade House lets you sell spare cards for coins or swap goods for useful things like an extra Table or Oven.
Later the kitchen starts to run itself a little. You can hire workers to take over chores like the Water Pump, Hand Crank, and Running Wheel for electricity, and unlock a magnet that pulls cards from one place to another. Less dragging, more deciding what to cook next.
How does Cookard actually play?
How do you cook a dish?
You stack ingredient cards onto utensil cards in the order the recipe asks for. New recipes unlock as you complete quests.
How do you serve customers before they leave?
They do not wait long, so it pays to have common dishes ready or ingredients close at hand.
How do you get more ingredients and equipment?
You sell surplus cards and trade goods at the Trade House for coins or equipment, and quests reward you with additions like new utensils and recipes.
