A la carte

Get ready for a rather eccentric culinary adventure in "A la carte"! In this game by Karl-Heinz Schmiel, you and your friends take on the roles of cooks with a touch of madness, competing to perfect their kitchen skills. Each player receives a miniature pan and a stovetop to call their own. Each round, you have a few options: turn up the heat on your stove (a random action that can affect everyone!), season your dish with colorful ingredients, or even try to steal a colleague's recipe. Seasoning is the heart of the game! You use small bottles filled with colorful pellets, but be careful: if more than two pellets fall out at once, your dish goes in the trash! The 2009 version brought some new features, such as updated rules, a new way to win, and even new mechanics, while maintaining the chaotic and fun essence of the original. It's a game that blends strategy with a touch of luck and dexterity, perfect for those who enjoy a light challenge with guaranteed laughs. The tension mounts each round as you try to balance the perfect cook without ruining everything. Do you have what it takes to be the supreme chef?
