FAQ (Updated for 2nd Ed!)
What are the main differences of the 2nd Edition?
Here are the most basic differences:
1. Instead of going for 3 rounds, the game now ends when one person has collected 5 stars.
2. Instead of each recipe being 1 point, each recipe is now 1-3 star points (based on difficulty).
3. Instead of having unlimited actions on your turn, now each turn is only 3 actions.
4. Instead of drawing cards at the beginning of your turn, you draw cards at the end of your turn (up to 5 cards).
How many actions and ingredients can I play during my turn?
You can play a total of 3 actions on your turn. Each one of the following is 1 action:
– Playing an ingredient on a recipe
– Playing an action card and doing the action stated
– Playing a Restore card (Fire Extinguisher or a Power Restored)
– Discarding a card (by putting in the Discard Pile)
What happens to recipes that are switched via The Old Switcheroo? Do the ingredient cards played already on them get switched as well? What about bans placed on them?
When recipes are switched via The Old Switcheroo, everything that is already placed on the recipes, whether it’s ingredients or bans, gets switched.
Can I use The Old Switcheroo (Recipe) on a recipe that’s already been completed?
No.
Can I continue to make a recipe that has a ban on it?
Yes, you can continue to place ingredients on a recipe that has one or two bans on it. However, the recipe cannot be completed until the ban(s) are lifted.
If the Deck runs out of a cards, what happens?
If the the Deck runs out of cards, shuffle the Discard Pile, which turns into the Deck. If the Deck runs out during someone’s turn, shuffle the Discard Pile immediately.
When you switch a recipe via Get New Recipe, what happens to the ingredients and ban(s) placed on your original recipe?
All the ingredients and ban(s) placed on the original recipe go into the Discard pile.
How does the switching of recipes work?
Yes, before you pick 1 new Recipe card from the Recipe Deck, you must decide which recipe to discard and place it on the bottom of the Recipe Deck. Then you draw a card from the Recipe Deck to replace the discarded card.
Do I get a new recipe after my recipe was Freezer Burned?
No.
Do I have to remember whose card was a 1 Star Recipe?
No. All completed recipes are placed face up on the table next to the player.
