Bake It Now! is a 30–60 minute roll & write board game for 1–4 players. Draft dice to collect ingredients, complete recipes, upgrade your kitchen, and score points.
Easy to learn yet full of depth — fun for kids and a real challenge for adults.
👥 1–4 players • ⏱ 30–60 minutes • 🎂 Ages 10+
Bake It Now! offers something for everyone: lighthearted fun for families, meaningful choices for gamers, and a rewarding challenge for solo players.
While dice set the stage, your decisions shape the outcome — from choosing ingredients to managing time and upgrades. Each recipe card shows a pastry on the front and ingredients on the back, turning every round into a fresh puzzle.
No two games are ever the same. Shifting goals, upgrades, and recipe variety keep it engaging from start to finish — full of strategy, laughter, and irresistible ‘just one more round’ moments.
And beyond the fun, the game also nurtures logical thinking, time management, and teamwork — all without ever losing its playful charm.
At the start – Each player receives recipe and goal cards, which can be expanded later.
Reveal your pantry card, roll the dice and draft ingredients from the supply.
Record your chosen ingredients on your recipes and pantry.
Buy extra ingredients, kitchen upgrades, or refreshment cards.
Spend time to finish recipes, or take a risk with “Bake it if you dare!”.
Sell your baked goods to earn coins for future options.
Refresh the market and upgrade supply, then begin the next round.
At the end of the third round,
tally your points – and the player with the most points claims victory and baking glory!
With lovingly illustrated recipe cards, quality dice, and clear player sheets, every game feels like a treat. The colorful artwork and thoughtful design bring the baking theme to life right on your table, making each round as inviting as a fresh pastry.
Or as we like to say: knead the dough cleverly, and you’ll bake your way to victory!

Marianna Béres — primary school teacher, lifelong gamer, and the original dreamer behind Bake It Now!
I spend my days surrounded by children, whose curiosity constantly inspires me. I rediscovered modern board games in 2019, and they quickly became a passion. Outside teaching, I enjoy reading, hiking, caring for exotic plants, and exploring video games.
My love for baking naturally found its way into game design. That spark became Bake It Now! — a family game that blends the joy of play with the joy of creating something delicious.

I teach computer graphics and design at an arts-focused secondary school. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, reading, and board gaming with friends.
For me, game design means bringing together art, storytelling, and playful learning. I focus on the visual world and atmosphere of our games, shaping artwork and components so they are both clear and immersive. What began as a creative experiment has grown into a project that connects people through play.
