About the game
What you do in a play session
Prepare for culinary chaos! In "Ghost Kitchen: Trial by Fire", the kitchen is ablaze, but the orders keep pouring in. You play as a ghost with absolutely no culinary knowledge, frantically rushing around to gather ingredients in the correct order and assemble... something... resembling food. When you hear "Order Up!", a die roll determines which order you need to complete. Then, it's a race against time (and lack of skill) around an ingredient rondel. As you move, you mark off ingredients on your recipe sheet. If the category matches the current step of your order, great! If not, the ingredient is lost forever – nobody wants second-hand ectoplasm, right? Imagine constructing burgers with potatoes for buns, BLTs with fish instead of bacon, or a layered cake filled with soy sauce. The ghosts don't know any better, and honestly, they don't complain. It's the pure joy of working in a "ghost kitchen"! This solo game is perfect for those who enjoy a quick challenge and have a peculiar sense of humor for paranormal cuisine.
