## Description
Get ready to feel the rush of a professional kitchen! In Kitchen Rush (Revised Edition 2019) you and up to three friends buy an old restaurant and must turn it into a culinary success. Each game is split into eight scenarios that gradually upgrade the layout – new counters, stoves, and prep areas appear as you progress. The goal is straightforward: greet guests, note their orders, pick the right ingredients, and plate dishes before the timer runs out. 

The star of the game is its cooperative real‑time play: there are no turns, everyone acts simultaneously while the sand timer ticks. You’ll need to coordinate, split duties (one handles orders, another ingredients, another plating) and use worker placement to occupy the right spots on the modular board. Variable phase order means the sequence can shift each play, demanding flexible strategy. 

The artwork has been refreshed and the rulebook reorganized into eight bite‑size lessons, making the learning curve gentle. Components include order cards, ingredient tokens, kitchen pieces, and two sand timers that drive the frantic pace. A game lasts 20–60 minutes depending on player count and familiarity. With a light weight (2.1/5) it’s easy‑to‑learn for newcomers, yet still offers enough tension for fans of fast, cooperative games. If you love the pressure of a packed dinner service and want to test your team’s coordination, Kitchen Rush is the perfect pick.
