About the game

What you do in a play session

Roll n Cook is a free Print & Play game that can accommodate any number of players – from one to 99 – and even works perfectly in solo mode. The setting is straightforward: you manage a restaurant in a culinary contest and try to score the highest points over 12 rounds, each representing an hour of kitchen work. In each turn, all players roll three dice at once; the results determine the ingredients you can gather and use to cook dishes. The fun lies in the choices – you decide which recipes to prepare, which special abilities to use, and how to allocate your workers to different board locations to maximize points. The simultaneous action selection mechanic ensures everyone makes decisions at the same time, keeping tension high and requiring anticipation of others’ moves. As a paper‑and‑pencil game, all you need is to print the board, have a few dice, and jot down notes from each round. Playtime is short, ranging from 15 to 45 minutes, making it ideal for quick gatherings or filling in gaps. Despite its simplicity, the game offers strategic depth by choosing the right recipes and optimizing resource use, and the solo mode features a star system that indicates your performance, turning each session into a culinary showdown. If you enjoy dice rolls, quick decisions, and a culinary twist, Roll n Cook promises guaranteed fun and accessibility for any group.
