Immerse yourself in a centuries-old tradition where flavor, patience, and skill become art. In Ates, each player becomes a master confectioner, competing to create the finest ate (a type of fruit paste) using select ingredients, traditional tools, and techniques passed down through generations. From the careful cooking of the fruit to the perfect cut, every decision counts in achieving the ideal balance of texture, color, and flavor. Will you be able to master the process and become the ultimate ate artisan? Ates is a resource management and placement game, as well as an order delivery game where each turn your ingredients move down the board. You must either deliver your order or discard your products. —description from the publisher
