It’s Restaurant Week in Bistro Bay! Restaurants are competing in food challenges while also planning an epic meal to impress a celebrity critic. As one of 2-5 players, you’ll be sending your Chefs out into the city to gather ingredients to create amazing meals and demonstrate that your restaurant is the best in town.
Each round new random ingredients are placed in various locations throughout the city. Players simultaneously and secretly plan which locations to send their three chefs to, hoping to collect the best ingredients. Some chefs are fast, but can only gather one item, while others can carry three items, but arrive late. Rumors are also available at locations and provide guidance on what the critic desires.
Challenges, revealed in rounds 1 through 6, offer the players opportunities to earn stars for crafting dishes with specific ingredient requirements. After round 7 the players must create an epic meal to impress the celebrity critic and cater to their appetites. A multitude of different critics, rumors and restaurateurs mean every game is fresh!

5.0 - My absolutely favorite games. You can pry them out of my cold dead hands.
4.5 - Love this game! At the same time missing something that would make it a 5. Could be hard to table, lacking variability, a little light, etc.
4.0 - Really great game, almost always keeping, although has meaningful complaints as to what takes away from the experience.
3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, may lose out to better games but the idea of never playing again is a bit sad.
3.0 - A good game, would play and suggest with the right people, if I never played it again wouldn't lose any sleep.
2.5 - A game I'd play again , but will never suggest it myself
2.0 - A game I don't want to play again
1.5 - A game I can't find any reason to recommend
1.0 - A game that is just bad.

    Feels like a good way to slowly coax my friends closer and closer to some aspects of endless winter now if I could only talk myself out of metal coins, really cute looking wooden meeples and really cool and practical looking trays, this would be so much easier to justify. Ahh, the struggles

    Thanks Alex, great video! I am looking forward to seeing how this does for you with all the fun cart choices we're unlocking (one of which is more zous chefs at a time). The promo on launch day is a critic that brings 2 critics out at once, and we have more fun surprises coming. Since you noted the higher player counts being bonus fun, the campaign has 6-7 player mode included in the free expansion to hook everyone up. Cheers!

    Thanks for the review. I’d love to play it sometime but like you, we have a hard time getting 4+ player games to the table.

    Ya, I really like the game, the player count just puts it in a harder place for me.

    Well thanks for the review. I sit this one out. Mostly because it won't be available in German at the Kickstarter campaign. It looks very nice with the simultaneous worker placement. Weirdly it reminds me a bit of Dungeon Lords, which has a lot more rules but was a heavier game that brought me into the hobby. :)

    Was interested, now not sure, plus for the deluxe edition plus postage and VAT it's like 90 quid.

    @@BoardGameCo these days Kickstarter is getting difficult to justify, VAT and postage makes the games feel just not worth it. I've found I can save quite a lot just buying the deluxe version from our FLGS or from an online retailer, I've saved almost £25 preordering Leaf deluxe rather than backing the Kickstarter.

    hmm i will have to think about this one. I have fractured sky coming and this feels like it might give off a similar type of experience.

    I saw the review but still in doubt. I understand sometimes you can jave bad luck at s location. But do you feel in control in the game or is ot more luck based? To compare: does it feel like Libertalia or like Go Nuts for Donuts? Liberalia is fun and you feel in control sometimes. GoNuts for Donuts is a guessing game only.

    Hi! There's a board game you own in a plain brown box with a green gem on it. I've always wanted to know what game that is. Could you please tell me?
