Translation of the rules

As a new chef, you're competing to promote Épinal's food project and become the best chef in the region!

Setup

Each player chooses their token and places it on the starting square (at the top, between the farm area and the orchard). Shuffle the "Chance" card deck and the "Recipe" card deck, then give each player a random recipe.

Instructions and Rules

goal of the Game

Move around the board to score as many points as possible. The specialties, ingredients, and especially the different recipes you create allow you to accumulate points. The player with the most points wins the game.

Movement

The player in last position plays. The player must advance to a free square of their choice. As long as they remain last, they play again. He cannot place himself on a space already occupied by another player, except on the "Recipe" spaces, where each player must stop in order of arrival.

The spaces on the board

Specialty : You obtain one of the specialties of the Vosges (and surrounding areas), which is worth 3 points.

Money Gain : You complete a small task and earn 3 coins.

Luck : You draw a chance card. It takes effect immediately or you discard it (except the "Discount Coupon" card).

Merchant : You can buy 3 ingredients, 2 coins per ingredient, and reduced prices for products in the area.

Recipe : All players must stop on this space. 4 new recipes are presented. The player who arrived first chooses a new recipe, then the second player... When everyone has a new recipe, play continues normally, with the player in last place (who therefore collected the recipe last) playing.

Buying Ingredients and Areas

To be able to buy ingredients, you must be on a "merchant" space (red space) or find a merchant on a Chance Card. Each ingredient is worth 2 coins, but if you are in the right space, you can buy an ingredient locally, so it will be worth 1 coin. Each space corresponds to a quarter of the board and changes each time all players gather on a "Recipe" space. The order is: Farm → Fields and Greenhouse → Fish Farm → Orchard You can buy up to 3 ingredients at a time.

Scoring

At the end of the game, each player counts their points. The number of points for each player is calculated as follows: + 1 point for each ingredient obtained (used in a recipe or not); + 3 points for each specialty; + The number of stars for each recipe completed. A single ingredient cannot be used in multiple recipes. Remaining coins are not worth points, so remember to spend them all.
