About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an electrifying culinary experience in Hibachi: Fired Up!, the souped-up new edition of this dexterity and auction game! Here, you're not just any chef; you're a flamboyant artist using chips like flying ingredients. The goal? Throw these chips with ninja-like precision to hit the ingredients customers can't wait to taste. Think aiming, flicking, and maybe even giving a little 'nudge' to disrupt opponents and snatch that coveted piece of salmon. Each round is a battle of precision and strategy, where money and ingredients change hands faster than a hot dish leaves the kitchen. If you can gather the right ingredients and complete three spectacular recipes, you'll earn the title of supreme chef and claim victory! Hibachi: Fired Up! boasts faster, more streamlined rules, making the gameplay even smoother and more fun. It's a perfect game for those who enjoy a physical challenge mixed with a touch of economics and set collection, all wrapped up in a cooking theme with charming anthropomorphic animals. Prepare for fun that will make your belly rumble (from hunger or laughter)!
