Meat & Cheese: Charcuterie Skirmish

The ultimate battle of the charcuterie board! In this fast-paced real-time strategy game, opponents choose between two warring factions: Meat or Cheese, each fighting for charcuterie dominance. Players must build, create, defend, and attack while securing resources across the countertop.

Made by a group including myself, Meat & Cheese is a spin on the RTS genre, where you and another player fight as either the Mechanical Meats, or Monstrous Cheeses. We made this game for our Exploratory Game Design course, wanting to take a genre that seems to have fallen out of favor, and make it easily accessible for those who have never played an RTS game, but still enjoyable for veteran fans.

We took Meat & Cheese to the Stout Game Expo, where it was nominated for, and won an award for best gameplay. If you want to try it out, feel free to head over the itch.io link and download it for free today. We will be updating the game even though the class is over, so keep looking out for new updates in the future.
