Fast Food Fear

Sushi, chicken and ice cream

Monsters are difficult customers and only satisfied when all orders, which are displayed in the guise of monster cards showing between three and five dishes per card, are filled. Monster cards and menu cards for twelve different dishes in varying numbers - 3x each Sushi, Sandwich, Donut and Pasta, 5x each Chicken and Ice Cream, 6x each Pizza and Taco, 7x each Hotdog and French Fries as well as 8x each Soft Drink and Burger - are shuffled separately. A number of monster cards equal to the number of players plus 1 is laid out face-down and every player is dealt six menu cards.

The starting player turns over the timer and turns up half of the monster card, rounded up in case of uneven numbers. Then players take turns and try cooperatively to complete the monster card orders. As active player, you either complete an order - a new one is revealed - or resolve an action card or discard a card; then you refill your hand. An order is complete when you discard all necessary cards for it at the same time. Action options are turn timer, swap cards, discard cards and draw new ones, remove a monster card from the display and replace it from the draw pile. Players can talk and coordinate their actions, they can name missing cards and cards in hand. When the menu card draw pile is empty, the discard pile is turned over - unshuffled - for a new draw pile; in this case, another monster card is added to the display. When all orders are resolved when the timer runs out, all win together.

 A nice, simple set collecting game, which can be easily won by cooperatively making clever use of the action cards.
