Into the Pie! is a four to six player card drafting game about making pies! What more do you need?
Theme
You are a entering a neighbourhood baking challenge. The challenge is choose a random recipe from your cookbook and try to make that pie with the ingredients that you are able to harvest from the garden. The catch, you and your neighbours must share your harvest with each other, only keeping one ingredient from each person's basket.
As I previously mentioned, I have recently gotten into Android: Netrunner, and I'm taking the very thematic approach in that game and applying it to this one, so that each component or section of the game has its own name.

Mechanics
- The players all draw a card from the top of the cookbook (recipe draw pile).
- Players then harvest (draw) five cards each from the garden (ingredient draw pile) into their basket (hand)
- Players choose one card from their basket and add it to their pie (place the card face down in front of them).
- OR Players discard one card from their basket and add an item from the pantry into their pie.
- Players then pass their basket to their left and repeat step 3 and 4, until they have four cards placed down in front of them and one card in their hand.
Possible Victory Conditions
- The first player to successfully bake five pies wins!
- The first player to make $20 from selling their pies wins!
