About Cookard

✦ AI summary

Cookard is a cooking game where you stack cards to prepare dishes and serve them to impatient customers at your restaurant. Master recipes by dragging ingredient cards onto utensils, manage your inventory through buying and trading, complete quests to unlock new equipment, and gradually automate your kitchen with workers and magnets as your operation grows.

Cookard is a cooking game where you run a restaurant by stacking cards to prepare and serve dishes to customers.

Prepare Dish


Every dish requires a certain set of steps and ingredients, which can typically be completed by dragging ingredient cards (such as Egg, Dough, Honey) to utensil cards (such as Oven, Stove). You can always check the Recipes section if you're at loss. As the game progresses, you'll unlock more recipes to cook!

Serve Dish


Dragging a 'Customer' card on top of a 'Table' card will reveal their desired dish. Serve them by placing their desired dish on top of them. Customers won't linger for very long, so make sure to deliver their dish in a timely manner!

Buy & Trade


Every dish requires a set of ingredient cards, and you'll need to stock up on them from time to time. Ingredients can be bought by placing a coins card on top of a store card, such as 'Store' or 'Fruit Stall'.

Sometimes you'll find yourselves surrounded by unecessary stuff. It's good idea to sell them in the 'Trade House' to get coins in return. You could also trade various items to get other items, such as an additional Table or Oven, etc.

Complete Quests


Completing quests earns you rewards, often including new additions to the restaurant, such as new utensils and recipes. Progress!

Hire Workers


Tired of clicking Water Pump or Hand Crank? Hire workers to help you generate electricity!
Put them on Running Wheel to kickstart your machinations!

Automate Your Kitchen


Who knows moving and sorting cards will be so tiring? Unlock magnet and use it to pull the cards from one place to another!

✦ AI summary

Cookard is a charming and fun cooking game with delightful art and straightforward mechanics that players enjoy, but most agree it suffers from limited content that can be completed quickly, leaving them wishing for more recipes, ingredients, and story progression. The automation system confuses some players, and inventory management becomes chaotic as the game progresses, though this doesn't diminish the overall enjoyment for those who play through what's available.

It's a very fun game but can turn a little chaotic when there are so many cards everywhere, by the end of the current content within the game I had chests overflowing with ingredients and it was hard to manage them all at the same time, so I kept losing employees after forgetting to feed them. I didn't get into the whole automation thing because I didn't understand it, but I enjoyed the rest very much and was surprised and sad to see that I already played through all the content there is. I was hoping that there would be more recipes, and ways to get the fruits that didn't involve purchasing them from the fruit stall, maybe fruit trees/bushes that we could water or put a gardener onto like the bee garden or the wheat fields. I would love for this game to receive more updates and get more content. One thing I will agree on from the other comments is that the "kitchen" space gets too small really fast. I wish it either got bigger as we completed certain quests or we get an option to determine how big we want it. Some suggestions I have for possible updates would be fruit trees, maybe a type of card that we can form into a fence around the chickens so that they don't roam around(someh…

Loved the game art and mechanics. Easy to understand and play. Happily finished the game and wished it continued to more menu items or story.

Really fun but incredibly stressful, I wish the automation made more sense because I was constantly confused by it and ended up just doing it all myself

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
