Overview

Carla Caramel is a cooperative children’s game where players work together to help Carla the ice cream seller serve ice cream to children before the sun melts it. Players roll a die to either add ice cream scoops to cones or advance the sun along its track. If all children receive their ice cream orders before the sun reaches the end, everyone wins together.

Components

• 1 game board (ice cream stand with sun track)
• Ice cream scoop tokens in various flavors
• Children cards showing desired ice cream combinations
• 1 die
• Sun marker

Setup

1. Place the game board in the center.
2. Place the sun marker at the start of the sun track.
3. Draw children cards showing what ice cream each child wants.
4. Place ice cream scoops in the supply.

Turn Structure

On each turn, the active player rolls the die:

• Ice cream result: Add the matching flavor scoop to a cone being prepared for a child.
• Sun result: Move the sun marker one space along the sun track.

When a child’s order is complete (all requested scoops placed), that child is served and their card is removed.

Actions

• Roll the die and follow its result (place a scoop or advance the sun).
• Players discuss together which cone to add scoops to (cooperative decision-making).

Scoring / Victory Conditions

Win: All children receive their ice cream before the sun reaches the end of its track.

Lose: The sun reaches the end of the track before all children are served.

Special Rules & Edge Cases

• This is a fully cooperative game with no individual scoring.
• All players discuss decisions together, making it suitable for very young children.
• The game difficulty can be adjusted by changing the number of children to serve or the length of the sun track.
