Feed The Scorchpot

Feed The Scorchpot is a dice-driven island-building game about keeping a dragon fed. You struck a deal: the dragon protects the island for twenty years in exchange for twenty years of dinner service. Each year it wakes hungrier, and you must make the meals it wants to survive the contract.

Build your island

You roll dice to work your hex-grid island, harvest ingredients and build up farms, shrines and harbors. Each building changes how the board pays out, and buildings can be placed to feed into one another. You can start with a handful of tiles and develop them into an engine that produces enough food to bury the dragon in meals. There are more than 50 buildings and more than 80 recipes to mix and upgrade.

Cook and score

You combine ingredients into recipes and cook them in the Scorchpot. Recipes boost Flavor and Essence, which multiply your Fodder score. Each meal is a math puzzle: get it right and you prosper; get it wrong and you become smoke.

Raise the stakes

You can try to finish in fewer seasons for a bigger payoff, but every year you stay raises the stakes. The odds get harsher, the dragon grows hungrier and it can throw a tantrum that sets your board on fire. When the pressure mounts, you may need to tear down your setup and rebuild it.

Shape your dice

You can tune your tray with more than 20 dice types, including odd, even and colored dice, as well as dice carved into six sixes. The game is hand-drawn, including its dragons, buildings and meals, and you can pet the dragon.
