The Grate Italian Cheese-Off

This standalone expansion for Fromage is playable on its own, or you can mix-and-match every component with the base game for endless replayability.

Formaggio is a simultaneous worker-placement game about being an Italian cheesemaker. Since it's always your turn, Formaggio condenses the feeling of a highly strategic Euro-style game into just 40 minutes.

Formaggio is designed by Ben Rosset (The Search for Planet X) and developed and published by Jeffrey Chin & Andrew Nerger (Canvas).
