Button Shy hand assembled games are labeled for ages 14+.

Arcane Bakery Clash is a resource management game, where your resource is time. Specifically, time to cook the magical treats that you will use against your co-worker. You can choose 2 actions per turn, and you will either put a recipe card in the oven, peek into an oven (in case you forgot what you started cooking), turn up the heat (and advance the track on the back of a recipe card), or take a recipe out of the oven (putting the card into play). With these actions you will bake new treats that are used to either reduce your opponent’s health, heal yourself, or allow special actions. When a player’s health is reduced to zero, they lose the game, and their opponent wins.

It's been a long time coming. You and a particular co-worker at the Arcane Bakery simply cannot work together anymore. In a moment of frustration, you challenge them to a duel: After close, no holds barred. The loser resigns. And cleans up the mess.

Zoe N. ★★★★★

Mail day finally arrived and this little wallet game is way more charming than the pictures suggest. The card art and layout have a proper arcane vibe, and it fits perfectly in my back pocket for game nights at the pub.

Lucy ★★★★★

I was a little nervous about the pre-order wait, but the game itself was totally worth it. The wallet-sized format makes it super easy to toss in my bag, and the clash mechanic is surprisingly deep for something so compact.

William H. ★★★★☆

Took a while to ship since it was a pre-order, but the game itself is clever and the card quality feels sturdy for the price. Setup was quick enough that we got a round in right after dinner.
