Welcome to France during the reign of King Louis XV. The air is buzzing with excitement as a grand festival is about to begin in the lavish gardens of Versailles. You and your rival pastry chefs have been invited to create delicious pastries for the king’s noble guests in La Pâtisserie Rococo , a game for one to five players designed by Louis and Stefan Malz of the Rococo Deluxe design team.

In this immersive game of culinary mastery, players take on the role of ambitious pastry chefs who manage their pastry chefs and apprentices. Players can acquire new recipes and purchase essential ingredients such as butter, sugar, and flour. They can add decorative flair to their creations by hiring talented pastry chefs, and benefit from the skills of staff with powerful bonus possibilities. During the game, players bake beautiful pastries that they can sell for profit or present to noble judges to gain prestige. Waiters can be employed to enhance presentations, while noble hosts can manage tables to earn additional prestige. Sometimes it is also necessary to strategically dismiss staff to gain extra money for the enterprise.

The winner is the pastry chef who has earned the most prestige at the end of the game, making for a challenging and rewarding experience that can be played over and over again.
