In Soda Jerk, you’ll be dealt a hand of delicious soda ingredient cards, including strawberry, blueberry, banana, kiwi, and orange. On your turn, either:

Play a card face down in front of one of the taps (which are also labeled strawberry, blueberry, banana, kiwi, and orange)
Flip over a face down card

At the end of the game, each card left in your hand is worth points equal to the final value at the matching tap. So, if you ended with two strawberry cards and the tap value of strawberry was 8, you get 16 points.

Try to get the most points while making your opponents go negative!

"Great game, gives Botswana vibes but has way more laughs and potential for individual comebacks. I can see myself reaching for this more in the future."

Why We Love It

Distilled Stock Manipulation

Soda Jerk is the absolute distillation of a stock manipulation game in a tiny box. The points each tap is worth is unclear until the end of the game. Each turn, choose to manipulate the tap value or discover what your opponents have been up to!

Advanced Mode Adds Even More Game

Each tap has a backside, which adds twists on each tap before scoring. You'll have to work extra hard to scuttle a Strawberry tap, but judge the Orange tap wrong with a hand full of orange and you'll be looking at a disaster instead of a windfall!

Delightful Art

Soda Jerk features elegant, whimsical art from Sai Beppu reminiscent of the soda jerk's heyday. You'll be sure to grab this off your shelf thanks to the clean design and enticing colors!

How to play:

Setup:

Lay out the tap cards in a row in the middle of the table. Deal cards out according to player count.

On your turn, place a flavor or flip a flavor

To place a flavor card, put it facedown under the tap of your choice. If it matches, it increases that flavor's point value. If it doesn't, it lowers the point value.
