How to Play
Kitchen Chaos uses worker placement mechanics, where each player will control chefs and perform actions every round. During your chef's turn, you may collect ingredients, prepare delicious dishes, cook, or serve a completed dish to hungry customers for points!
Players may play in a 1-on-1 match or work with a teammate for a 2-on-2 (4-player) game. Teams will be competing to see who can deliver dishes first while navigating the kitchen's limited cooking stations and avoiding devious trap set by the other team.
Game Rounds
A round of Kitchen Chaos is played in 3 phases:
-

-
Perform chef actions
-
Round cleanup
1. Select chef turn order
Players will place their chefs on the turn order selection board, determing the turn order for this round. Late turns are rewarded with extra benefits.
2. Perform chef actions
Starting with the chef on turn 1, each player will move their chef from the turn order selection to the kitchen station of their choice and perform that action.
3. Round cleanup
When all chefs have performed their action, check if any team has reached the victory target, remove chefs from the board, refill recipes, and set traps for the next round! Then play a new round!
