Head chef Alfredo is about to lose his head in despair because he can't recall which soup is boiling in which pot. Can you help him allot the carrots, garlic, beans and tomatoes to the proper pots? What's more, can you make sure that your fellow players have also put their ingredients into the proper pots? In Chef Alfredo, four pots are each seeded with one of four ingredients. On a turn, the active player rolls a die, then either swaps the positions of two pots on the stove or adds the depicted ingredient to the proper pot. The next player can either trust that you've done the right thing or call you out, dumping out the ingredients of the pot to which you added something with the player who made the right move claiming a helper token. The player who best spots the pots – even when they change hotplates – will win this cooking game.
