Too many cooks

Author: Janina in too many cooks

zu_viele_koeche Too many cooks is a fun and fast card game by Reiner Knizia Pegasus from the publisher. It is lunch time ... every time hunger comes and then smelled so delicious even after broccoli, corn and leek ... The running water to a mouth together ... Now it's up to you prove yourself as the best cook in and through epicurean delights such as fresh vegetable soup to win a hearty chicken soup or a spicy fish soup, a sharp dose of chili or a popular new fast-food customers.

At the start of the game, each player receives five different menus, which he bears hidden himself. To get regular customers every five ingredients and 13 maps. Then he selects a menu, face down what he wants to pour out his customers. After everyone has selected a menu of the day, they are uncovered.

Now, throw all the ingredients in turn, are provided with values in the pot and give each the sum total of all ingredients on the stove. This indicates how full the pot. The ingredient list can, however, by a "boiling over" card are set to zero.

But how to prepare delicious food? It depends on what poses the first player in the pot. If he has opted for a vegetable soup, is added only vegetables. Where a player from the vegetables, he may enter any ingredient in the pot. The same goes for fish and chicken. But beware ... as soon as the first hot peppers has landed in the soup, can be given to what the heart desires, because it is so sharp that the taste buds are numb and it tastes nothing anyway ...

If the value of the ingredients of 10 or higher, he will serve the customer. The player who added the final ingredient to the pot, take the ingredients themselves and puts them face-down in front of him and begins to fill the new pot.

The day ends when one player has placed his cards in his hand. Then there is a ranking and the daily menu is stored.

Even it goes into the next round, because the next day dawns and wait for your regular customers hungry for the next menu. Whereupon the cook today want and what he plans to serve its customers? What is the wish of the customer? Let's go back to the pot to the other players into the ground to cook and win the most regular customers.

In "Too Many Cooks" is a game with addictive. The rules are so simple and ingenious. The material is like Pegasus lived in a top quality and from the deck - in the great series of metal boxes. The game has decent flavor, and we could see no hair in the soup. The comic-style illustration appeals to children and adults alike. Too many cooks is again a successful delights from the pen of Reiner Knizia, which attracts even the biggest cooking mold behind the stove.
