About the game

What is Candy Lab?

Machines are operating at full capacity in the candy factory! In Candy Lab, you take on the role of confectioners and are busy boxing the prized candies. In the middle of all this hustle, you have to retrieve the candy bars to fulfill your orders. The best among you will receive the coveted title of "master confectioner" and leave with their weight in candy! Your opponents will stop at nothing to win the supreme title — and actually, neither will you! In the game, you play order cards to retrieve candy bar combinations, activate their effects to help you, and (above all) disrupt your opponents. The game ends when the last candy bar is retrieved or when the draw pile of order cards is depleted. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins! —description from the publisher
