Curios about what kind of games you’ll see at ProtoCON? Take a look at Deli Dash by Good Cluck Games. Deli Dash is a card game where rival sandwich makers hustle to earn the most money by the end of the lunch rush!

Deli Dash is a card game where rival sandwich makers hustle to earn the most money by the end of the lunch rush!

an Image of the Deli Dash card game and box have been used as the background.

Each player is dealt a hand
And Players take turns performing max 3 actions (adding ingredients, finishing sandwiches, playing event cards, etc.)

Image includes a hand with a fanned out set of ingredient cards from the Deli Dash game. (ham, tomato, egg, and avocado)

Sandwich Cards are arranged in the middle and show which sandwiches can be built with which ingredients and in what order.

The first player to 5 sandwiches triggers the end of the game - everyone with turns left finishes, then everyone counts up their money.

The winner is named employee of the month!

image includes a sandwich card which details the ingredients needed to finish a sandwich (BLT: Bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo.)

My mind and heart are full (and my body is sore) after a whirlwind day trip to @protocon-bc.bsky.social. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to play test games in this concentration, and it was amazing to be in a room full of folks who want to have fun and make that fun the best it can be.
