How a run goes

  1. Cook three services a day

    Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner each have a score target. You get 4 Cooks and a bin for the cards you don't want.

  2. Shop the Wet Market

    Spend your pay on new ingredients, toss the ones that clog your deck, or freshen a card for extra Flavour.

  3. Kit out the stall

    Stall Tools like the Claypot, Sambal Jar and Charcoal Stove add Flavour or multiply Heat. You can hold five.

  4. Survive the boss dinner

    Day 3 Dinner brings a boss with one rule that changes how you cook. Beat it for your star and a passport stamp.
