How it plays

Fromage is a strategy game about competing French cheesemakers. The board is split into four areas (a village, a château, a monastery and a picnic) and sits on a turntable, so each player faces a different area.

Each round, everyone places workers at the same time in the area in front of them to make cheese, gather milk or build creamery upgrades. Then the board rotates, which ages the cheese, and aged cheese is worth more when you sell it. Selling at different locations earns prestige points, and the player with the most prestige at the end wins.
