I am player #2 (Nelson) you see in the scorecard in the video. :) One of the things I don't like was that when you choose a recipe, your ability to actually purchase the ingredients for that recipe in time for scoring are not guaranteed. You can wipe the board, and it might restocked with every ingredient, except the one you need! As Tom said the theme is unique and spot on. If I saw this come out I wouldn't mind playing it again.

Hey Tom, I liked how you started to talk about lobster at 8:18 and a lobster popped up on your screensaver. :P

Your right...I had not heard of this game before you introduced it. It looks wonderful! I am also glad that it works...was afraid that it might be just busy-work for VP, but it looks to be more engaging than that. Thank you for sharing this discovery and making it known.

Looks interesting. I'll have to keep my eyes open for a chance to play this one. I like the theme and the gameplay seems interesting enough to make it worth considering.

hi Tom (and Nelson), great review as usual, it seems a game where you can do many different things, I'd like to ask you how do you compare it to Vinhos? Looks to me like a simplified version of Vinhos, not a bad thing, but also less nice game materials

How well do you think a non-gamer would take to this game? Considering it as a gift for my sister who loves cooking.
