📖 About This Game
Grab your aprons and sharpen your knives because the Food Cart Festival is in full swing! Sourcing the freshest ingredients and using innovative cooking techniques is how you stand out from the pack. Show everyone that you've got the chops to be the best roving restaurant on the block. You know what they say: if you can't stand the heat...
In à la food cart, players are racing to complete their selected Goal card first. Goals are completed by accumulating sets of ingredients each round, with players having the flexibility to choose different sets at any given time based on which areas of the card they wish to complete and which special abilities they seek to unlock.
During a round, both players will send their "workers" to the market by placing face-down cards covering the ingredients or actions they want to secure. By mixing their gains from the market with the Bonus effects active on their Goal card, players can create potent combos and advance toward victory.
