Too Many Cooks

In Too Many Cooks you play a chef who wants to put the tastiest dishes on the table. From an English classic to an Italian, French, Chinese or Indian speciality, the kitchen is full of choices. Focus on one style of cooking and you get a nice bonus. But do not forget the vegetarians, because without a vegetable dish you will have that group of grumbling guests on your back. It all starts with collecting ingredients. The recipes lie on the board for everyone to see, along with exactly what you need. You start with just one ingredient, so you will have to bid at the auction to get the rest. Feeling lucky? Then draw a random ingredient, although that costs you more and you never know what you will get. As soon as you have everything for a dish, you cook it right away and earn beans. Yes, real beans as money. The fun part is that you may also cook a recipe another player has already made, though that pays a little less. That keeps everyone sharp and makes you watch what the others are doing all the time. Too Many Cooks is a game for 2 to 5 chefs who enjoy a lively afternoon together at the table, with plenty of choice and tension to fill the evening.
