What's On The Menu? (2023)

Overview

In this chef battle, your goal is simple, make the best full course menu that blows our restaurant manager, Eugene, away! Each game will require varying levels of strategy and player interaction. Collect Menu Cards to build your menu, or use Action Cards to either boost your menu or sabotage other competing chefs. The combinations are endless! You have 15 rounds to build your full course menu and have a chance at becoming "What's on the Menu's" next head chef!

Each turn consists of two phases, a Prep and a Plate Phase. During the Prep Phase, a player can either select a Menu Card or draw an Action Card to put into their hand. Once all players have gone through the Prep Phase, we move to the Plate Phase. During this phase, players can choose between doing nothing, committing a Menu Card to their menu, or playing an Action card. Each Player has 15 rounds to complete their full course menu. After 15 rounds, the Chefs present their Menu and add up their Star total. Each Menu Card has a range of 0-3 possible stars. Some Menu Cards have added bonuses that can be added at the end of the game. Be on the lookout for combos as well, as they can increase your star total. The player with the highest star total by the end of 15 rounds is declared the winner.
