FroGames — Moments You'll Remember
The grill is hot, the tongs are trembling, a zucchini is about to fall into the embers. Everyone holds their breath — except you, who are laughing too hard to concentrate.
It's a complete game, not an expansion
Barbecubes Veg Edition is the standalone vegetarian variant of the game Barbecubes. Same dexterity mechanics, completely new theme. It is played without the original Barbecubes — it's a self-contained box.
What it's about
A grill, two tongs, six friends, and zero idea who cooks better
Barbecubes Veg Edition is the dexterity filler that Little Rocket Games brings to Italy, signed by designers Rob Sparks and Brett J. Gilbert. The latter is no ordinary name in the world of games: he has titles like Block Ness, Mini Rails, and Elysium to his credit — here he worked to do the opposite of a deep game. An immediate, physical experience that works with everyone.
The mechanic is elementary: a card tells you which piece of vegetarian food to pick up and where to place it on the grill. You grab the tongs, pick it up, place it. If it falls off the grill or into the embers, you accumulate a fault. Two faults and you're out. The last one standing wins — or whoever places all their pieces without making the vegetable tower wobble.
It's the ultimate aperitif game: rules explained in twenty seconds, starts in thirty, and within three minutes someone is already laughing hysterically because a mushroom rolled under the couch. The illustrations by Rory Muldoon are cheerful and immediate, perfect for the tone of the game.
The secret in two lines
It looks like a skill game. It's a nerve game. The difference between winning and losing is how well you can keep from laughing while holding the tongs.
The secret of Barbecubes Veg in one line
Explained in twenty seconds, finished in five minutes, replayed immediately. The ideal filler for evenings when there's no time for complicated rules.
From the game experience
Barbecubes Veg Edition
FrogScore · FroGames editorial rating · based on rules, authors, and box contentWhat you hold in your hand
Everything you need for the barbecue
The tongs
Two tongs (one spare, because it happens). They are the heart of the game: everything passes through them. Keep your wrist steady or you'll cook it burnt.
36 food pieces
Vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, corn — all vegetarian, all for stacking. Different shapes, different balances, each with its trick.
2 grill pieces
The playing surface. Seems stable until you place five wobbly vegetables on it. Then it's decided who really cooks.
36 recipe cards
They tell you what to cook and where. They decide your next three seconds of tension. No text, just clear images.
Five minutes after opening the lid, someone is already laughing too hard to hold the tongs steady. That's how it is with Barbecubes Veg.

Box contentsAll set for the barbecue
The second pair of tongs is included on purpose — everyone breaks them by squeezing too hard under pressure.
