What Your Ingredient Specialty Says About You
After 3 years of playtesting, we noticed that players fell into distinct "teams" no matter what character they were playing. These teams mapped onto different ingredients, but more notably, they also mapped onto personality types. Which one are you?
🍋 Team Lemon
You know that lemons are the most important part of lemonade. Team Lemon is all about searching and risk-taking. You'd rather dig for the perfect combo pieces instead of settling for what's in front of you. But if you misplay, you'll run out of resources and your whole engine will die.
🍬 Team Sugar
You know what actually makes lemonade taste good and sell.
Team Sugar is about tempo and flexibility. You're always looking for opportunities to take shortcuts and minimize wasted turns. But if you don't keep a close watch on your opponents, you'll miss your chances and fall behind.
🧊 Team Ice
You know that the best way to celebrate lemonade is to have more of it.
Team Ice is about hoarding and engine-building. You're a patient person. Instead of picking what to do, why not pick when and set yourself up to do everything? But if you're too greedy, the game will end before you ever get there.
Pick Your Team
All three of these playstyles can be game-breaking powerful, but they can also all lose if you mishandle them. Which team are you: Lemon, Sugar or Ice?
