Our take on Feed the Scorchpot
The defining structure is a twenty-year dinner contract: each season adds pressure while the island grows into a food-producing scoring machine, then may be destroyed and rebuilt when the dragon's demands become too severe.
What is Feed the Scorchpot?
Feed a dragon for a twenty-year protection contract in a dice-based roguelike.
Each year, roll dice to work a hex-grid island, collect ingredients, and combine them into recipes cooked in the Scorchpot. Farms, shrines, and harbors alter how the board produces resources, letting tile arrangements develop into scoring engines. The game includes more than 50 buildings, over 80 recipes, and more than 20 dice types with different properties. Staying longer brings tougher odds, a hungrier dragon, and events that can burn parts of the island. Runs begin with a small set of tiles and can grow into large food-producing systems before being dismantled and rebuilt after failure.
