Cherry on Top

Who the game is for

The family board game Cherry on Top is designed for 2–4 players who can spare about 20 minutes for their sweet creations. The recommended age is 6+, so even younger players can join without difficulty. Thanks to simple rules, a fast pace, and charming visuals, it’s an ideal game for families who want to enjoy fun moments together. Each player becomes a pastry chef who builds their own cake across several rounds, thinks about colour combinations, and tries to collect as many sugar cubes and victory points as possible.

What the game is about

Once a year, the best pastry chefs from across the land gather to prove who can create the most beautiful cake. In Cherry on Top, you join them and use colourful layers, sugar cubes, and a bit of strategy to create a cake that dazzles both the jury and your opponents. Each round represents a decorating phase – you choose, rotate, and place new layers on your cake while trying to connect stripes of the same colour to earn sweet rewards in the form of sugar cubes.

You store the collected cubes in your jars, which grant victory points and unlock further strategic options. Smart decisions, watching your opponents, and good timing are the keys to success – sometimes it pays to take risks, other times it's safer to stick to proven colour combinations. And because everyone plays simultaneously, the tension grows with every new layer added.

Every turn brings new ways to perfect your cake. Will you choose elegant symmetry, or surprise everyone with a bold colour combination? Final scoring reveals who becomes the true master pastry chef and gets to decorate their cake with a symbolic cherry – literally and figuratively.
