Tick-Tock Orders is a real-time cooperative game where the players are skilled artisans who have gathered in a workshop trying to complete many, many urgent orders. Orders may require basic ingredients or products which need to be crafted. To begin the game, all ingredients are placed face down, and will also include a few mice which have been chewing on things. During the game, players are turning tiles face up to look for what they need to complete the orders, or place on the crafting boards to make certain products. Once used, tiles are placed in the box lid, and when the players need a refill of ingredients, the box lid is dumped onto the table such that most of the tiles will be face down. After around 5 minutes, the players calculate their score based upon how many orders were completed, with bonus points available for orders that have the same background colors.
