About the Game

How do you play your cards? Into the pot, of course.

Cookwagon is a fantasy cooking roguelike deckbuilder. Take your magical food truck on the road, juggle dishes across three cooking pots, and use Technique Cards to control the heat, enhance flavors, and speed up cooking—then serve piping-hot meals to the guests waiting at your window.

Every service has one simple goal: satisfy enough guests and earn a high enough rating before you run out of turns, so the Cookwagon can keep rolling.

Three Pots, One Winning Hand

Pot space and actions are limited. Let a dish simmer for richer flavor, or speed things up and rush it to the table.

Link your three pots together and time every card and dish just right. Even an unassuming hand can become a meal that leaves every guest satisfied.

Cook Up Your Own Playstyle

Collect new cards and relics, activate Flavor Synergies, and shape your deck around slow-cooked flavor, rapid cooking, three-pot combos, signature dishes that grow stronger over the journey, or discard strategies that turn leftovers into opportunity.

Every Food Card is already a complete dish, so there are no hidden recipes to memorize. What matters is how you turn the cards in your hand into exactly the right meal.

Keep the Cookwagon Rolling

Choose your next stop along an ever-changing route: another service, an encounter, a shop, or a treasure chest. Refine your deck and serve guests with increasingly discerning tastes.

Every journey brings different choices—and a different signature deck to build.

There are no enemies waiting to be defeated here—only guests waiting to be won over by a good meal.
