⚙️ Setup

• Place the square Ingredient and Cooking Tool Cards face down on the table.

🍳 Start Cooking

1. Draw a Recipe Card — Each player picks a Recipe Card and places it face up.
2. Draw an Action Card — Each player draws one and keeps it secret. (Optional)
3. Flip Two Cards — The first player flips two square cards face up.
4. Grab and Match — If the flipped cards match your recipe, grab them fast! Anyone can grab face-up matching cards — first to grab gets it!
5. Next Turn — If no one grabs or once everyone finishes matching, the next player flips two new cards. Then race again!
6. Finish and Draw Next — Once complete, set your finished dish aside and draw a new Recipe Card.
7. Race to Finish — When all square cards are face-up, it's a free-for-all! Grab any remaining cards to finish your recipes.

⚡ Action Cards Strategy Guide

• 🥔 Mash Chef — Take any flipped cards you need for your new recipe.
• 🌀 Whirlwind Whisk — Flip all face-up square cards face down and shuffle them. (Matched cards on recipes are safe!)
• 💥 Chef's Oops! — Pick a player and knock over their dish! All their Square Cards go back to the table and get shuffled. (Can't use against a player who just won!)
• 🔄 Circular Cook-off — Everyone rotates their incomplete recipe (including matched cards) to the next player — clockwise or counterclockwise. (Completed dishes stay put.)
• 🔥 Fired Up! — The kitchen's on fire! Pick a player to lose all Cooking Tool Cards (frying pan, pot, oven, steamer, campfire, rice cooker, grill) from both their current and completed dishes — all back to the table!
