About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to show off your culinary (and aiming!) skills in Hibachi, a game where you take on the role of a teppanyaki chef. The mission? To please hungry customers using your hibachi grill. Each round is a new chance to shine, throwing colorful discs onto the board. Where they land is crucial: it determines which ingredients you can buy or sell, and which special actions will give you that edge. The magic happens when the discs are flipped, revealing their values and resolving the actions, one by one. The goal is to gather the right ingredients to prepare the dishes customers have ordered. If you're the first to complete three orders, victory is yours! Hibachi blends the excitement of throwing discs with the strategy of resource management and set collection. It's a light game with a touch of dexterity that can lead to hilarious and competitive moments. Perfect for those seeking a different experience, with a fun theme and accessible mechanics. Interaction happens through the auction bids and the competition for ingredients, keeping everyone engaged. Prepare for the heat of the grill and the kitchen showdown!
