Welcome to Restaurant Week in Bistro Bay! In <Critter Kitchen>, you and up to four friends take on the role of restaurant owners, competing to create the most impressive meals and win over the palate of a renowned food critic. Each round, fresh new ingredients appear at different locations around the city. The challenge? Secretly and simultaneously plan where to send your three chefs. Each chef has their quirks: some are super-fast but can only carry one item, while others are slower but can carry three ingredients. It's a true ballet of programmed movement and worker placement, where anticipating your rivals' moves is crucial. In addition to collecting ingredients, you can find rumors that provide valuable clues about what the critic desires. During the first six rounds, specific challenges emerge, allowing you to earn stars by preparing dishes with ingredient requirements. At the end of the seventh round, the grand test: assemble an epic meal to impress the critic and cater to their most demanding appetites. With a variety of critics, rumors, and restaurateurs, each game of <Critter Kitchen> promises a unique and flavorful experience!
