Carroll County Cake Swap

A card game for baking perfectionists and those who like to sabotage them.

Put on your apron and grab your mixing bowls as you vie for ribbons in the cake decorating contest at the Carroll County Fair. Create the tallest, most beautiful cakes by stacking layer upon layer of frosted sweetness. Will you go slow and steady to create a few cakes with extreme precision? Or rush to submit your cakes ahead of the competition?

Draw or draft cards to build cakes up to five layers tall. Elbow your opponents to get the types of cake (chocolate or vanilla) and frosting flavors (five fruits, plus a wild) you need to win ribbons in six categories.

Only one player may win each ribbon, so you’ll have to swipe, swap, and squeeze your way to victory. Some ribbons are worth more than others. Choose carefully which ones you go for in this race to outmaneuver other contestants.
