Fromage (FR)

*French version

Fromage immerses you in early 20th-century France as you take on the role of an ambitious cheesemaker striving to build the most prestigious creamery in the country. Each round, players simultaneously place workers in the quadrant of the board facing them to produce cheese, gather resources, and improve their operations. Once actions are complete, the board rotates, aging cheese and revealing new strategic possibilities.

This innovative simultaneous worker placement system eliminates downtime while preserving the depth expected from a modern strategic Eurogame. Timing production, managing cheese aging, and choosing when and where to sell your goods create meaningful decisions every turn.

You will likely enjoy Fromage if you appreciate elegant strategy games with fresh mechanics and strong thematic integration. Designed for intermediate to experienced players, it delivers a strategy board game experience that feels rich, satisfying, and remarkably efficient in under an hour.

Fun fact: Fromage won the 2024 Origins Award for Best Light Strategy Game and received multiple Golden Geek nominations, highlighting its innovation and visual presentation.

Designed by Matthew O’Malley and Ben Rosset, and illustrated by Pavel Zhovba, Fromage stands out as a refined, modern Eurogame with a distinctive rotating board system.
