About the game

What is Truck Off: The Food Truck Frenzy?

Truck Off is a lightweight food truck card game that packs some serious bite! In Truck Off, you send your food truck team hoping to score a sweet parking spot at a lucrative venue. Your timing and game plan will be critical to your success while your opponents will look for the perfect opportunity to get you to, ahem, truck off! Truck Off is played over five rounds, after which the player with the most money earned wins. In each round, players simultaneously select, then reveal which venue they will park at placing their food trucks next to that venue. A die is then rolled at each venue to determine how many people actually showed up at each venue. Each player then simultaneously selects which special action(s) they choose to execute this round. Starting with the first player token, players play and execute one action in a clockwise manner until all actions have been played and executed. After players are done executing actions, profits are split between each truck at the venue. Truck Off gameplay mechanically captures the ups and downs of food truck ownership by rewarding both long-term planning and short-term tactics as well as throwing many curve balls such as low venue attendance, competition, and crazy weather.
